In the context of the German-Lab project, the topology management tool “ToMaTo” has been developed to be used as experimental facility software. This paper describes the features and the design of ToMaTo and evaluates it by identifying common experiment types and matching their requirements to the properties of ToMaTo.

As hardware technologies develops, its facilities such as PCs and network equipments have been updated and we additionally developed SpringOS, a software support suite consisting of numerous program modules. The performance of StarBED and SpringOS increases as their equipments are upgraded and architecture is changed in terms of software and hardware. This paper gives an overview of the current StarBED architecture and SpringOS functions and then shows the results of performance evaluation as of October 2010.

Since then, more and more areas of our daily live are reached by the evolving Internet including business critical areas, causes through its big success, fast acceptance and emerged possibilities. However, today’s best-effort Internet still lacks wide-area support for End-to-End Quality-of-Service and security sensitive services. Future Internet (FI) related research targets at a re-designs of the current Internet while addressing today’s requirements. In this paper we present a clean-slate cross-layer FI architecture approach. In order to optimize the underlying network for services we focus on a framework able to provide service required functionalities at the network layer on demand. We validate the presented architecture based on a prototype implementation. An evaluation section discusses measurements done with the prototype and an outlook on our future work concludes the paper.

    • Dynamic Virtual Overlay Networks for Large Scale Resource Federation Frameworks

This concept is currently applied to provide large scale experimental facilities serving Future Internet research and development. We have developed a model and framework for generic resource federation and have implemented an according prototype system that allows federating heterogeneous resources on a pan-European scale. With this paper we show how heterogeneous federated resources can be interconnected by means of meshed domain border gateways that provide separated Layer 2 tunnels for resource groupings following our federation model. This enables to dynamically build virtual overlay networks over the public Internet to support various experimentation purposes.

    • Scalable Star-Topology Server-Array Based P2P Overlay Network Testbed

Each server is responsible for a subset of the simulated peer processes, managed by the mechanisms presented herein. The system follows a star topology, where one master server acts as a point of control for a set of slave servers. We present both the structure of the system and the activities needed before, during, and after a simulation run in order to accomplish automated simulations, where each interesting combination of the variable parameters of the overlay network is evaluated. The functionality of the control scripts is explained in detail. Among other things, the system sets up the required start conditions for a P2P overlay simulation, manages the online-time and the specific P2P activities of each simulated peer, and facilitates the handling of the generated log files, from which the result statistics are derived.
