    25     25   - Provides a testbed and associated tools and knowledge for researchers to
    26     26     experiment on real CNs. *##*

    28     28   ** Community-Lab
    29     29   - CONFINE's testbed: an environment built with real hardware taking part in
    30     30     real community networks to allow realistic experimental research on network
    31         -  technologies.
    32         -- Mostly like PlanetLab: global-scale, best effort, with experiments
    33         -  sharing resources.
    34         -- Supporting the distributed ownership, diversity, flexibility, fairness (and
    35         -  instability!) of CNs: XXXX

           32  +- Mostly like PlanetLab: global scale, with experiments sharing resources on a
           33  +  best effort basis, and as few hardwired management mechanisms as possible.
           34  +- Supporting the peculiarities of CNs: distributed ownership, fairness between
           35  +  users, diversity but also instability.
    38     36   - All Community-Lab's software and documentation is “free as in freedom” so
    39         -  people can use it to setup their own CONFINE testbed. *##*

    27     29   - A testbed built on community networks
    28     30   - Like PlanetLab:
    29         -    - Global-scale
    30         -    - Best effort
           31  +    - Global scale
    31     32       - Experiments sharing resources

           33  +    - Best effort
           34  +    - Unbundled management
           35  +- Heavily customized for CNs:
    33     36       - Some decentralization
    34         -    - No low-level, disruptive experiments
    35         -    - No spying

    38         -
    39         -- Plays nice with other users and admins
    40         -- I.e. no disrupting low-level experiments (generally)
           37  +    - Fair to other users  
           38  +      (no low-level, disruptive experiments, no spying)
           39  +    - Simple, tolerant to network failures
           40  +- Free software: build your own testbed!
