* 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 management network,
- implemented as a VPN IPv6 overlay.
+- 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). *##*
+ 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 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 management network overlay is a tinc mesh VPN.
+- 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 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 kind 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.
