Abstract

The Europe wide infrastructure managed by the FEDERICA project demonstrates how an infrastructure based on computers and network physical resources, both capable of virtualization, is a flexible, neutral and efficient facility for future and present Internet research. The facility can create virtual resources sets, grouped in virtual infrastructures (slices) according to users’ specification. The user has full control on the resources in the assigned slice which can be used for many types of research, from Future Internet clean-slate architectures to security and distributed protocols and applications. The infrastructure has European size and it is capable of federating with other facilities worldwide.
