1 1 #+title: Community-Lab: A Community Networking Testbed for the Future Internet 2 2 3 3 * Introduction 4 4 ** Community networks 5 -- Origins: In spite of the importance of the Internet, companies left behind 6 - people and regions of little economic interest for them. Some groups 7 - started coordinating the deployment of their own networks for 8 - self-provision. 5 +- Origins: In spite of the importance of the Internet, companies and 6 + governments left behind people and regions of little economic interest for 7 + them. Thus some groups started coordinating the deployment of their own 8 + networks for self-provision. 9 9 - Characteristics: Open participation, open and transparent management, 10 10 distributed ownership, works and grows according to users' interests. 11 11 - Prospective: Strategic importance for the expansion of broadband access 12 12 throughout Europe (as stated in the European Digital Agenda). 13 13 - A challenge: How to support the growth and sustainability of community 14 14 networks by providing the means to conduct experimentally driven research. 15 15 ................................................................................ 34 34 - Internet: PlanetLab, planet-scale testbed with resource sharing on nodes. 35 35 Main inspiration for Community-Lab. 36 36 37 37 ** Community-Lab: a testbed for community networks 38 38 - The testbed developed by CONFINE. 39 39 - Integrates and extends three Community Networks: guifi.net, FunkFeuer, AWMN. 40 40 # Node maps here for CNs with captures from node DBs. 41 -- Also nodes in participating research institutions. 42 -- Linked together over FEDERICA. 41 +- Also nodes in participating research centres. 42 +- Linked together over the FEDERICA backbone. 43 +- All its software and documentation is released under Free licenses, anyone 44 + can setup a CONFINE testbed like Community-Lab. 43 45 44 46 * Challenges and requirements 45 47 ** Simple management vs. Distributed node ownership 46 48 - In contrast with esp. indoors testbeds that belong wholly to the same 47 49 entity. 48 50 49 51 ** Features vs. Lightweight, low cost (free & open) ................................................................................ 75 77 76 78 ** Heterogeneity vs. Compatibility 77 79 - Lots of different devices (disparate connectivity and software openness). 78 80 - Lots of different link technologies (wireless, wired, fiber). 79 81 80 82 * Community-Lab testbed architecture 81 83 ** Overall architecture 82 -This architecture applies to all testbeds using the CONFINE software. Since 83 -all CONFINE software and documentation is released under Free licenses, anyone 84 -can setup a CONFINE testbed. 84 +This architecture applies to all testbeds using the CONFINE software. 85 85 # Move over overlay diagram less overlay connections plus overlay network. 86 86 - A testbed consists of a set of nodes managed by the same server. 87 87 - Server managed by testbed admins. 88 88 - Network and node managed by node admins (usually node owners). 89 89 - Node admins must adhere to a set of conditions. 90 90 - Solves management vs. ownersip problem. 91 91 - All components in testbed reachable via management network (tinc mesh VPN).
