Infrastructure Implementation

Approach Create a large scale testing and experimentation

facility by integrating existing and emerging testbeds

Rationale for federating testbeds Large-scale testbeds are needed for integrating and

validating next-generation network technologies.

The federation of distributed test laboratories and testbeds enables end-to-end interoperability testing of platforms, networks and services.

The federation of laboratories and testbeds helps to reduce the risks and costs of large-scale network infrastructure testing.

The Panlab project

Main goal: Develop a vision, roadmap, and legal/administrative

framework for the Pan-European Laboratory

Background: The idea for the Pan-European Laboratory was born

in the context of Eureka Cluster Celticas a way for effective pre-commercial end-to-end testing of services and products

European competitiveness in ICT is at stake, as the US (FIND/GENI) and others are developing large testing facilities for the future Internet respectively next-generation networks

Panlab project details

Panlabconsortium-11 organisations: Eurescom (coordinator -supported by Eureka Cluster Celtic), France

Telecom, Telefónica, Italtel, Thomson, Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia, Fraunhofer Fokus, DIMES, RAD, University of Quebec

Supported by the EC as a Specific Support Action under FP6: Budget:1.3 million euro Effort:134 person months Start:June 2006 Duration:24 months

Discover, compose, provision testing services

• TEAGLE •a dedicated web-based tool for federated testing• operated by the organisation’s office(Responsible for the testbed resource coordination and the long term evolution of the federation)

• using Teagle, customers can define and locate specific testbed facilities suitable to their testing needs

Octopus Network is a combination of pioneering wireless testbeds based in Oulu

With world-class partners like Nokia, Intel and Alcatel-Lucent, Octopus Network is a global wireless hotspot

Testing will be a globally increasing business area in the future. We want to provide our customers cost effective access to the latest wireless technologies in closed testing environments

The core of the Octopus service is a closed operator environment Remote secure access: VPN,IPSec,SSH

Octopus services A real, operator-level IMS infrastructure for third party testers (max. 500 000

subscribers simultaneously) Development and testing Application testing Interoperability testing in an authentic operator environment Technology consultation

Beta platform provide support and infrastructure for the

interconnection of testbeds and demonstrators

This project is an outcome of the first "IT-summit" ("IT-Gipfel") held end of 2006. Since then, mainly driven by Deutsche Telekom Laboratories

The Beta Platform is targeted at creating a marketplace for service development and testing

In contrast to other distributed labs like PlanetLab or EmuLab, the distributed testbeds created by way of interconnecting existing labs are not open to the Internet

12

Open IMS(IP Multimedia Subsystem) Playground Open testbeds have ever since played a major role for our research

activities in terms of result validation and prototype development It is OPEN in a sense that it is in a constant process of evolving. It is open to

new partners, new components, new technologies, as well as new concepts and paradigms. 

Our aim is to facilitate the usage of latest technologies in the field of IMS, NGN, SOA, and IPTV

Type of organisation: Academic institute the services offered:

Deliver prototype component implementations Instantiation of the Open IMS Playground Interconnection of testbeds Demo development Unique offering: Open Source IMS Core and build the community around it

Panlab assures connectivity to any possible technologyprovided by the Panlab community

OneLab

Serge FdidaUniversité Pierre et Marie Curie

Laboratoire LIP6-CNRS

An Open Networking Laboratory Supporting Communication Network Research Across Heterogeneous Environments

OneLab

An open federated laboratory, built on PlanetLab Europe, which supports network research for the future internet

Goals Extend – Extend PlanetLab into new environments, beyond

the traditional wired internet Deepen – Deepen PlanetLab’s monitoring capabilities Federate

– Provide a European administration for PlanetLab nodes in Europe

16

Extend and Deepen

OneLab’s New Environments WiMAX (Université Catholique de Louvain) UMTS (Università di Napoli, Alcatel Italia) Wireless ad hoc networks (France Telecom at Lannion) Emulated (Università di Pisa) Multihomed (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid)

OneLab Monitoring Components Passive monitoring (Intel Research Cambridge)

Track packets at the routers Topology monitoring (U. P. & M. Curie)

– Provide a view of the route structure – Build on Scriptroute to provide scalable active

measurements

17

Federation

Set up a functional PlanetLab Central in Europe to manage European sites

Create a federation between PlanetLab Europe and PlanetLab Central at Princeton

The federated structure will allow: – PlanetLab Europe to set policy in accordance with

European research priorities, – PlanetLab Europe to customize the platform, so long as

a common interface is preserved

Requirements Universal agreement on minimal core(narrow waist) Allow independent pieces to evolve independently

18

The OneLab vision

Building on PlanetLab Europe

64 nodes at 22 sites

Growing Join us! http://planet-lab.eu/

Part of the global PlanetLab test bed Used by thousands of researchers We co-develop the architecture We have federated with the USA. Next to federate: Japan, China, …

FEDERICA Objectives

25

26

FEDERICA Principles

1. Create an agnostic and neutral (transparent) infrastructure

2. Create “slices” which are a set of (virtual) network and computing resources according to user’s request and are “disruptible”

3. Provide to the user complete control within a slice down to the lowest possible layer (in particular allow any application and protocol)

4. Strive/engineer for reproducibility of experiments, i.e. given the same initial conditions, the results of an experiment are the same

5. Allow slices (if requested) to connect to the general Internet, to access external services/nodes (e.g. for content/delivery, specialized HW)

6. Ensure isolation between slices maintaining the possibility to cross- connect slides on request

7. Allow simultaneous use without conflict

8. Force/be exposed to topology changes (various level of resiliency)

9. Open to interconnect / federate with other e-Infrastructures

10. Access granted through a User Policy Board

27

Access and Use Policies

Usage of a FEDERICA slice will be free of charge if no additional equipment is requested

Interconnection with other infrastructures (e.g. labs) is possible. The cost has to be defined case by case.

A User Policy Board will receive and approve projects for the use of the infrastructure

Access to the infrastructure is subject to the signature of an “Acceptable User Policy”, which includes providing feedback

The time duration of a single experiment will be in principle limited to facilitate turnover (3 months initially, extension possible)

Access is open to research groups from academia and private sector with priority to European Community funded projects.

The code and tool bench produced will be Open Source
