ONELAB Rationale & History Grounded on ENEXT (NoE) Identification of critical testbeds for networking research (March 04) Lack of benchmark (Referenced testbed) Review the largest set of mutual interest Planetlab selected, but Add diversity to Planetlab European Administration of Planetlab nodes, Federation Presentation of this initiative at the plenary PlanetLab meeting (Cambridge, May 04) ONELAB proposal funded as an IST project (Sept 06) ONELAB as a concrete path towards experimental facilities Onelab / Fdida 12.06 2
OneLab : www.one-lab.org STREP : IST-2006-034819 A STREP (Specific Targeted Research Project) funded by the European Commission start: September 2006, duration: 2 years Funding 1.9 M, Total budget : 2.86 M Consortium Project leader: Univ. P. & M. Curie tightly with INRIA Partners: Intel Research Cambridge Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Université Catholique de Louvain Università di Napoli France Telecom Università di Pisa Alcatel Italia Telekomunikacja Polska Onelab / Fdida 12.06 3
OneLab Goals Onelab is a concrete path towards Experimental Facilities Based on Planetlab OneLab will help us better understand federation, which will be key to Experimental Facility success OneLab will also make considerable progress in 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. Onelab / Fdida 12.06 4
PlanetLab Today A set of end-hosts A limited view of the underlying network Built on the wired internet Onelab / Fdida 12.06 5
OneLab Vision for PlanetLab Reveal the underlying network Extend into new wired and wireless environments Onelab / Fdida 12.06 6
Goal: Extend Onelab / Fdida 12.06 7
OneLab s New Environments WiMAX (Université Catholique de Louvain) Install two nodes connected via a commercial WiMAX provider Nodes on trucks (constrained mobility) UMTS (Università di Napoli, Alcatel Italia) Nodes on a UMTS micro-cell run by Alcatel Italia Wireless ad hoc networks (France Telecom at Lannion) Nodes in a Wi-Fi mesh network (like ORBIT) Emulated (Università di Pisa) For emerging wireless technologies Based on dummynet Multihomed (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) Onelab / Fdida 12.06 8
Goal: Deepen Expose the underlying network Onelab / Fdida 12.06 9
Why Deepen PlanetLab? Problem: PlanetLab provides limited facilities to make applications aware of the underlying network PlanetLab consists of end-hosts Routing between nodes is controlled by the internet (This will change with GENI) Applications must currently make their own measurements Onelab / Fdida 12.06 10
OneLab Monitoring Components Passive monitoring (Intel Research Cambridge) Track packets at the routers Use CoMo boxes placed within DANTE Topology monitoring (U. P. & M. Curie) Provide a view of the route structure Build on Scriptroute to provide scalable active measurements Onelab / Fdida 12.06 11
Goal: Federate After: a heterogeneous set of systems Onelab / Fdida 12.06 12
Federation Concept of growing interest Towards a Global Shared Resource Open access to testbeds Governance Policies & APIs Legal, IPR Economics, At scale Incentives for sharing International perspective Initiatives in the US (GENI), Asia, Operation (long-term) Sustainability of the Experimental Facility Business model Onelab / Fdida 12.06 13
Onelab: Federation PlanetLab Europe ONELAB PlanetLab My Private Planetlab Onelab / Fdida 12.06 14
Research Networking Tesbeds Semantics of research net testbeds Infrastructure technology Wired, wireless, sensors, many more to come Big step between design and deployment Technology and service testing Network Services Monitoring, QoS, mobility, Applications & High-Level Services Repository, IMS, e-science Onelab / Fdida 12.06 15
Testbeds for Future Networks: a History behind us Testbed Projects Landscape Technological flavours and focus in the different testbeds GEANT Network infrastructure for Europe and beyond Federation efforts of European Testbed The new experience and challenges of Federated testbeds Onelab / Fdida 12.06 16
Towards Experimental Facilities Inadequate validation of various solutions Simulation models useful but often too simplistic Emulation of interest but diversity and scale Complexity of real-world experimental evaluation Benchmarking!!! Testbed dilemma production testbeds: real users but little innovation research testbeds: networking innovation but no real users EF is not a Testbed Not a demonstrator for a technology Support for experiments in networking Global Shared Resource Onelab / Fdida 12.06 17
Federation requirements Usage model each architecture (service) runs in its own slice User request and EF reporting Virtualization multiple architectures on a shared infrastructure Very high capacity backbone (GEANT)? Governance API, Policies, Brokerage (trading resources) and trust relationship Analysis/Archiving Define monitoring Archive data in a central facility Onelab / Fdida 12.06 18
Summary Explore the Future The Internet of the Future is most probably not related to the internet But it will rely on Internet and on other network technologies Opportunity for new businesses and new business models International exposition Federation Sustainability Cooperation with major stakeholders Technology Platforms, GEANT, users Onelab is a concrete path exploring the way towards Experimental Facilities Onelab / Fdida 12.06 19
