This is a big step beyond private and state-owned infrastructures. - The previous characteristics translate into open, free (as in freedom) and neutral networks, values in consonance with the Free software movement. Some CNs even have mutual agreement texts similar to Free software liceses. - Atypical as it may seem, the EU in its Digital Agenda regards CNs as fundamental for the universalization of broadband networking. ## ** The CONFINE project - Under the umbrella of the Digital Agenda, CONFINE is a EU-financed project with several partners: CNs, research institutions and supporting NGOs. - Its mission is to support the sustainable growth of CNs by providing the means to conduct experimentally driven research. - It also supports other projects advancing or extending CNs via financed Open Calls (which are now closed). - Last but not least, CONFINE provides a testbed and the associated tools and knowledge for researchers to experiment on real CNs. ## ** Community-Lab - Community-Lab is that testbed: an environment built with real hardware taking part in actual community networks to allow realistic experimental research on network technologies and services. - Mostly like PlanetLab, it is global scale, with experiments sharing resources on a best effort basis, and having as few hardwired management mechanisms as possible. - However, it supports the peculiarities of CNs: their distributed ownership, the fairness between their users, and their diversity but also their instability. - It's important to note that all Community-Lab's software and documentation is “free as in freedom” so you can use them to setup your own CONFINE testbed. ## ** Community-Lab as community infrastructure - Besides supporting experimentation, CONFINE helps physically extend CNs with new Community-Lab nodes. - These nodes can also host services like web servers, video broadcast stations, etc. for the community. - In a more sophisticated approach, nodes can also be used to implement cloud infrastructure provided and managed by the community for the community. This is the mission of the Clommunity project. ## * Architecture and technologies ** Testbed architecture - Community-Lab consists of a set of nodes (managed by CN members) that follow the configuration in a set of servers (managed by testbed operators). - All components in the testbed become reachable via a dedicated management network implemented as an IPv6 overlay. - Researchers define experiments (so called slices) in a server. - Nodes use a REST API to get those definitions from servers and run several of them simultaneously as VMs (so called slivers). - Slivers can access the CN via NAT, natively at the network layer, or in an isolated VLAN for routing experiments. ## ** Technologies - Nodes are connected via Ethernet to normal community devices. - Nodes are moderately powerful computers running OpenWrt with a control daemon written in Lua. Slivers are implemented as Linux containers. We are working on safe node upgrade using kexec. - The GUI and REST API in servers are implemented as Django applications. - The IPv6 overlay used for the management network is a tinc mesh VPN. - We use Git, Redmine, Jenkins and our Virtual CONFINE Tesbed (VCT) package for development and testing. ## * Collaborations - CONFINE actively collaborates to the development of several Free software projects: the OpenWrt router distro, the BMX6 and OLSR mesh routing protocols, the DLEP protocol for collecting link characteristics, the NodeDB for describing CN nodes, the lower-level Wibed testbed, and the quick mesh project distro. - CONFINE also collaborates in events like the Wireless Battle Mesh and the International Summit for Community Wireless Netwroks. ## * Future - In the near future we plan to work further on the testing, stabilization and documentation of the testbed to make it more maintainable and usable for the long term. - We will also start work on federating CONFINE testbeds between themselves and with PlanetLab-like testbeds using the Slice-based Federation Architecture. - We will be gradually opening the Community-Lab testbed to all kinds of external users in the networking and academic communities. ## * Participate! - So this was a very schematic summary about community networks, the CONFINE project and its Community-Lab testbed. - For more information you can visit these links or meet us in person in the CONFINE stand in the K building.
