Today's disruptive approaches to rearchitecting the Internet, e.g., Clean Slate Networking initiatives require testbeds that present un- precedented flexibility to the experimenter. This poster presents Berlin, a flexible testbed platform designed towards the requirements of Future Internet research. Berlin combines a diverse landscape of network el- ements, both software-defined and legacy hardware, and unifies them under a common management interface, presenting them as pluggable services to the experimenter. The Internet's core architecture, including its routing and addressing scheme currently aches under the pressure of the continuing rapid expansion of the net, as well as new applications and usage patterns. Useful incremental improvements have not seen wide adoption in recent years (e.g., IPv6, DiffServ, DNSSec). This has sparked renewed interest in disruptive approaches for re-architecting the Internet core, for instance in a multitude of Clean Slate Networking initiatives around the globe. Due to the diversity of these approaches, Future Internet experimentation requires a flexible testbed that caters to a wide range of requirements. Such ex- periments may require programmable, virtualized and non-virtualized hardware (e.g., PC servers), software-configurable hardware (e.g., NetFPGAs), and flexi- bly configurable logical and physical topologies. Experimentation also requires a sound infrastructure of support, including the generation of realistic traffic patterns and proper modeling of user expectations and experiences. This proposed poster introduces Berlin, an experiment platform tailored to the requirements of Future Internet research. Berlin combines a diverse land- scape of network elements, both software-defined and legacy hardware, unifies them under a common management interface, and presents them as pluggable services to the experimenter. We first present its architecture and the core ser- vices provided, then examine some use-cases of successful Future Internet experi- mentation in the lab. We believe that our poster can contribute valuable insights to the discussion about the primitives, components, and services required to suc- cessfully enable Future Internet experiments. |
