Testbed-as-a-Service

• Why Future Internet Testbeds Matters? • Offer programmable networks devoted for

experimentation • Test and validate new network

architectures and applications without disturbing the operation of the current Internet

• Several FI initiatives are deployed worldwide

• Our goals: • Build a Future Internet testbed in Brazil,

aligned with other worldwide initiatives • Promote Future Internet research in Brazil

and region • Foster a new generation of network

researchers

FIBRE Testbed Overview

• Large-scale Virtual Laboratory for students and network researchers • Application and/or lower network layers

• Characteristics • Diverse types of resources available

• Wireless, VMs, OpenFlow substrate, Sensor Networks

• Autonomous Federation of local Testbeds • SFA (Slice based Federated Architecture)

• Open and free to use

• Multiple Control Monitoring Frameworks • Easy to integrate with other CMFs

Current Status and Next Steps

• Architecture Upgrade • Single resource management and reservation interface

• Adoption of a new Control and Management Framework (OMF 6.0)

• Support for network services (NFV)

• Support for the OpenFlow 1.3 protocol

• Extensibility and integration of new resource types • IoT, sensors and actuators, photonics, cloud,…

• Partnership with other initiatives and projects • E.g. FUTEBOL and BAMBU

• Expansion is in course on three institutions in Brazil and one in Uruguay
