validation large scale experimentation long-term research requirements Testbed Testbed Testbed Testbed Testbed Testbed Future Internet Research and Experimentation • Allowing European researchers to test new paradigms at large scale, including interactions with end users and communities • Internet as a complex system: need to promote strategic, advanced, experimentally-driven, multi-disciplinary research on new internet concepts
FIREworks • Support Action coordinating FIRE projects • FIRE Community • FIRE Initiative • FIRE Office • International relations • FIRE Strategy • What research? What testbeds? • How to federate? Roadmap for FIRE Facility
FIRE Research • Future Internet as a Complex System • Cross-layer, multidisciplinary, system approach • Need for testing on the experimental facility • Visionary research on Internet protocols, architectures and services • Open, bottom-up approach • Not necessarily backward-compatible • Multidisciplinary, allowing cross-fertilisation, e.g. bio-inspired principles, evolutionary concepts, economic principles, … • Experimentally-driven research • Not just paperwork: research, theories must be based on testbeds and data-driven experiments • Allowing identification of potential evolutionary transition paths • People?

FP7 – WP 2007/08: Prototyping the conceptof federating testbeds Next: Expanding the concept & building the facility FP6: Early design & prototyping • Expand to include service architectures • Support experimentation cutting across layers • Enable socio-economic impact assessment • Broaden involvement of large user communities • Support sustainability • Develop the facility in close cooperation with FIRE research projects • Join forces in Europeand collaborateinternationally PARADISO FIREWorks PII ONELAB2 VITAL++ WISEBED FIRE Facility FIRE-Research:New paradigms Network ofthe Future Other ProjectsFP7, MSs, … • Open and dynamic • Supporting academia and industry • Proof-of-concept → pre-commercial tbs • Understanding the socio-economic dim. Buiding FIRE Facility FEDERICA
Building FIRE Facility • Bridging between FIRE Facility projects: OneLab2 and PII (Vital++, WISEBED, FEDERICA) • Identifying scope and target customers • Use scenarios • Identifying usage and potential need for cross-federation • What use scenarios? • How much usage? • How implementable? • Common nominators: umbrella or architecture?

What is the federation of the testbeds? • A federation is a union comprising a number of partially self-governing regions united by a central ("federal") government under a common set of objectives. • Interconnection of two or more independent testbeds for • Creation of a richer environment for testing and experimentation • Increased multilateral benefits of the users of the individual testbeds • Normally geographically dispersed • Owned by different organisations. • However, considered as being part of a single resource • Dynamic and evolve over time based on the requirements of the users Common objectives – Added value!
Vision for FIRE Facility • FIRE Facility the core of the European and global testing market • High-quality test centre, trustworthy partner and an integral part of European R&D in FI/NWGN • Reference point to the standardisation of the sector • Neutral and independent • Versatile services, well-productised activities, fast processes, open but can be walled as needed • Good, well-reasoned and quality enhancing control • Incubator of new innovations • Autonomy of resource providers ensured
Onelab2 and the federation concept From Serge Fdida, Panayotis Antoniadis and Timur Friedman
Customer View on Experimentation • What do I want to achieve? • Test a proposition, e.g., • Technology • New service • End user acceptance • A new business hypothesis (e.g., business model) • A new regulatory approach with given objectives • Openness of results • Exclusive IPR • Integration into larger facilities (for increased testing purposes) • Scale of experiment • Diversity of environment, e.g., locality, technologies, …
Where does the Facility Come In? A means to the (customers') ends! • Is A Facility… • …A collection of test beds (each individually governed)? • …A collection of test bed federations? • …A single test bed federation? • Or is it a toolkit to support the customers' needs with the ability to • Build a federation that match the objectives at hand • Build on working test beds but also allow to integrate its own • Apply technologies proven to work (to a certain extent) • Rely on a community of researchers and practitioners dealing with similar (testing and research) problems?

The Onelab Vision Provide a facility to the consumer that constitutes a toolkit of methods and abilities by • Building on a proven basis • PlanetLab Europe (PLE) is a working federation of test beds • PlanetLab (PL) provides a proven and evolving platform basis for experimentation • PL has gathered a large community of experimental researchers worldwide to rely on • Building (and federating) actual test beds • Building a toolkit that helps customers in experiments
Need for hierarchical federation ? PLC PLE ANA/Haggle Orbit … ? • Requires • flexible policy framework • a form of economic model PLJ
PLE-PLC federation policy Access rights of PLE researches on PLC nodes Access rights of PLC researches on PLE nodes • Current federation policy: “peering” • Users from both facilities have the same access rights over the whole infrastructure • Both facilities apply the same local policy • But other federation policies are under investigation
Other types of federation policies (PLE-Federica) PLE users are a subset of Federica users A consumer-provider relationship?
PLE-Private PlanetLabs:(Glab, EverLab, Etomics) We may have to constrain access of PLE users to the private PlanetLab.
Facility research challenges • Virtualization: Run concurrent experiments, support services • Monitoring: Collect data and make them available • Legal: Responsibilities and liabilities, IPR, … • Benchmarking: Assessment of the results produced, reproducibility • Security: Robust and secure facility • Economics:Of the facility, for the users, the operators, the federation(s) • Federation • Inter-operability framework • Data and resource representation • Control plane, resource management policies, incentives
OneLab infrastructures • PlanetLab Europe • 118 nodes, 59 sites, 20 countries, 318 registered users, 65 active slices • Based on PlanetLab: • +1000 nodes, 487 sites, 41 countries, 5030 registered users, 630 active slices • Growth 100 nodes per year • New components • WiFi links • Emulated links (Dummynet boxes) • NITOS • WiFi testbed, 23 nodes, OMF based • Open to the Onelab2 partners • Low level driver programming
Operational offering in 1.5 year • Access to SAC testbeds • SAC cloud composed of mobile devices, incl. GPS • ANA, Haggle, DTNRG • Access to Wireless testbeds • All based on OMF • WiFi, WiMax, Mesh • Open source wireless testbed toolkit • Access to Computing Clusters • Everlab: 6 clusters, 89 hosts, 265 CPUs • Access to other testbeds • Slice-Based facility Architecture (SFA) • FEDERICA, Glab • New Components • Emulation, Monitoring
Wrap-up • FIRE is a concept • Experimentally-driven, multidisciplinary, FI research • Modular, dynamically developing supporting facility • OneLab approach • Proven model for federation • Research and innovation incubator • Existing entity to get connected Alone Network power
