Abstract

Designing, coordinating and deploying repeatable experiments outside of a fully controlled environment pose a serious challenge when conducting network research. In particular, it can be difficult to correctly schedule experiments that collect bulk data using a shared resource. To address this problem, we introduce PLDetect, a simple testbed built on top of PlanetLab which simplifies configuring, scheduling, and deploying large scale Internet experiments for evaluating middlebox detection methods.

Keywords: Middlebox Detection method Active measurements Testbed PlanetLab
