39 39 - Also nodes in participating research centres. 40 40 - Linked together over the FEDERICA academic backbone. 41 41 - All its software and documentation is released under Free licenses, anyone 42 42 can setup a CONFINE testbed like Community-Lab. 43 43 44 44 * Challenges and requirements 45 45 ** Simple management vs. Distributed node ownership 46 -- In contrast with e.g. indoors testbeds that belong wholly to the same 47 - entity. 46 +- How to manage devices belonging to diverse owners. 48 47 49 48 ** Features vs. Lightweight, low cost (free & open) 50 49 - Devices ranging from PCs to embedded boards. 51 50 - Need light system able to run on very different devices. 52 51 52 +** Heterogeneity vs. Compatibility 53 +- Some devices allow hacking while others don't. 54 +- Diverse connectivity and link technologies (wireless, wired, fiber). 55 + 53 56 ** Familiarity & flexibility vs. System stability 54 -- Familiar Linux env with root access to researchers. 55 -- Keep env isolation (nodes are shared by experiments). 56 -- Keep node stability (to avoid in-place maintenance, some difficult to reach 57 - node locations). 57 +- Researchers prefer a familiar Linux env with root access. 58 +- But experiments sharing the same node must be isolated. 58 59 # Frozen tower. 60 +- Accessing node locations can be hard, so keep node stability to avoid 61 + in-place maintenance. 59 62 60 63 ** Flexibility vs. Network stability 61 64 - Network experiments running on nodes in a production network. 62 -- Allow interaction with CN at the lowest level possible but not disrupting or 63 - overusing it. 65 +- Allow interaction at the lowest possible layer of the CN while not 66 + disrupting or overusing it. 64 67 65 68 ** Traffic collection vs. Privacy of CN users 66 69 - Experiments performing traffic collection and characterization. 67 70 - Avoid researchers spying on users' data. 68 71 69 72 ** Link instability vs. Management robustness 70 -- Deal with frequent network outages in the CN. 73 +- Management must deal with frequent network outages in the CN. 71 74 72 75 ** Reachability vs. IP address provisioning 73 76 - Testbed spanning different CNs. 74 77 - IPv4 scarcity and incompatibility between CNs, lack of IPv6 support. 75 78 76 -** Heterogeneity vs. Compatibility 77 -- Lots of different devices (disparate connectivity and software openness). 78 -- Lots of different link technologies (wireless, wired, fiber). 79 - 80 79 * Community-Lab testbed architecture 81 80 ** Overall architecture 82 81 This architecture applies to all testbeds using the CONFINE software. 83 82 # Move over overlay diagram less overlay connections plus overlay network. 84 83 - A testbed consists of a set of nodes managed by the same server. 85 84 - Server managed by testbed admins. 86 85 - Network and node managed by node admins (usually owners and CN members).
