DESCRIPTION
NGN Test Centre launch 10th March 2010. First centre in Ireland with a Carrier Grade IMS Test Network.TRANSCRIPT
About Panlab
• Creates a large scale testing and experimentation facility by integrating existing and emerging testbeds
• Achieves scale and maintains independence through federation
• that enables end-to-end interoperability testing of platforms, networks and services
• that helps reducing the risks and costs of large-scale network infrastructure testing
• Panlab has build the glue
Testbed and Experimental Facility Federation
Value proposition
• For the testbed owners and operators • Help find “customers”• Increase utilisation• Compensate for the investments in building
• For the customer (e.g. researcher, application developer)
• Help find suitable target environment• Configure a custom experimental environment• … friendly users
• A win-win-win situation for the• testbed owner/operator,• testbed customer and• testbed broker (Teagle)
• Open to all collaborations that adhere to the principles for building Federated, Open, and Trusted research and experimentation environments
Testbed and Experimental Facility Federation
• Heterogeneous resources are offered by several network domains
• Domains engage in federation and share resources
• Federation Organization represents the federation to 3rd parties
• The federation control tool called Teagle executes management operations via a control framework
• Supports broad Future Internet research • Re-use resources across the boundaries of
domains and communities instead of re-building infrastructure
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Panlab Mechanisms - Enablers
• Organisational aspects• Considered in Panlab SSA
• Panlab Organisation• (Legal) entity “owning” the testbed federation• Financing (membership model, etc.)
• Panlab Office• Operational entity of the federation – adopted in PII
• Frameworks in development – PII project• Concepts defined in Panlab SSA
• Legal• Operational• Technical
Panlab Legal Framework
• Target• Regulation of all related legal issues• Efficient conclusion of contracts
• Applying of contract templates• Ensuring individual negotiations
• Federation contracts• For testbed providers and customers• For individual testbeds and testing sessions
• Addressed issues• IPR, Confidentiality, Access rights, etc.
Operational Panlab Framework
• Testbed specification and integration• Panlab repository
• Search for testing configuration• Customers’ requirements• Set-up of testing sessions
• Execution of tests• Configuration and validation• Collection and evaluation of results
• Usage of existing results and configurations

Experimental Facility Resource Federation with Teagle
• We have developed a Resource Federation Framework
• Different administrative domains provide testbed resources
• Administrative domains can be existing and upcoming testbeds or other organizations that want to offer resources
• Heterogeneous resource federation allows cross-domain experiments using heterogeneous resources (e.g. sensors, CPU, memory, services) from different testbeds
• Open Framework• Any provider• Any resource
• Recursive domain / federation model
• Easy integration of resources following a generic resource adaptor (device driver) concept
• Building upon our existing work will speed up the integration process and leverage previous investments

What Exists? How to Join?• Existing Prototypes:
• Federation Portal
http://www.fire-teagle.org/ • Design Environment (access is currently
limited to selected testers)
http://www.fire-teagle.org/tutorials.jsp • Domain Manager to federate resources
from an administrative domain
http://trac.panlab.net/trac/wiki/CorePTM • Resource Adaptors (RA) to allow
remote configuration. For specialized resources RAs need to be developed. Different implementation options are available such as Java, OSGI, Python. Howtows are available.
• In addition to the prototypes, conceptual work such as a federation model, resource models, etc. is also available

Future directions
• Management and security• Monitoring, Fault management, Policy based
management
• Reach out to other European and international testbed communities
• Serve academic communities • Through easy and free access
• Serve business customers• Through service guarantees
• Open in various directions
