1 +#+title: Community-Lab: Exploring the Future Internet on Community Networks 2 + 3 +* Introduction 4 +Hello, I'm (Speaker) from (organization), I work at the CONFINE project and 5 +I'm going to talk you about Community-Lab, a community networking testbed for 6 +the future Internet. *##* 7 + 8 +** Community networks 9 +- Infrastructure deployed by organized groups of people for self-provision of 10 + broadband networking that works and grows according to their own interests. 11 +- Like some Free software projects: based on open participation, open and 12 + transparent management, distributed ownership (a big step beyond private and 13 + state-owned infrastructures). 14 +- These also translate into open, free (as in freedom) and neutral networks, 15 + values akin to the Free software movement. Some have mutual agreement texts 16 + similar to Free software liceses. 17 +- The EU in its Digital Agenda regards CNs as fundamental for the 18 + universalization of broadband networking. *##* 19 + 20 +** The CONFINE project 21 +- EU-financed project with several partners: CNs, research institutions and 22 + supporting NGOs. 23 +- Mission: support the sustainable growth of CNs by providing the means to 24 + conduct experimentally driven research. 25 +- Supports other projects advancing or extending CNs via financed Open Calls 26 + (now closed). 27 +- Provides a testbed and associated tools and knowledge for researchers to 28 + experiment on real CNs. *##* 29 + 30 +** Community-Lab 31 +- CONFINE's testbed: an environment built with real hardware taking part in 32 + real community networks to allow realistic experimental research on network 33 + technologies and services. 34 +- Mostly like PlanetLab: global scale, with experiments sharing resources on a 35 + best effort basis, and as few hardwired management mechanisms as possible. 36 +- Supporting the peculiarities of CNs: distributed ownership, fairness between 37 + users, diversity but also instability. 38 +- All Community-Lab's software and documentation is “free as in freedom” so 39 + you can use it to setup your own CONFINE testbed. *##* 40 + 41 +** Community-Lab as community infrastructure 42 + 43 +- CONFINE can help physically extend CNs with new Community-Lab nodes. 44 +- Nodes can also host services like web servers, video broadcast 45 + stations, etc. 46 +- Nodes can also be used as infrastructure for cloud infrastructure provided 47 + and managed by the community for the community: Clommunity project. *##* 48 + 49 +* Architecture and technologies 50 +** Testbed architecture 51 +- Community-Lab consists of a set of nodes (managed by CN members) that follow 52 + the configuration in a set of servers (managed by testbed operators). 53 +- All components in the testbed become reachable via a management network, 54 + implemented as a VPN IPv6 overlay. 55 +- Researchers define experiments (so called slices) in a server. 56 +- Nodes use a REST API to get those definitions from servers and run several 57 + of them simultaneously as VMs (so called slivers). *##* 58 + 59 +** Technologies 60 +- Nodes are connected via Ethernet to normal community devices. 61 +- Nodes are moderately powerful computers running OpenWrt with a daemon 62 + written in Lua. Slivers are implemented as Linux containers. We are 63 + working on safe node upgrade using kexec. 64 +- The GUI and REST API in servers are implemented as Django applications. 65 +- The management network overlay is a tinc mesh VPN. 66 +- We use Git, Redmine, Jenkins and our Virtual CONFINE Tesbed (VCT) package 67 + for development and testing. 68 + 69 +# Local Variables: 70 +# mode: org 71 +# End:
