“…Usually, a dashboard is built to let testbed users view and monitor the status of their tasks; the use of graphic elements to present data is a good strategy for improving visualization. Moreover, toolkits in the application layer also provide testbed users with an entry point for viewing emulated environments . Applications that help testbed users track and record experiment results may also be provided in this layer.…”

Summary As the internet continues to grow in width and depth, its very architecture brings many challenges in network research. One significant issue is cybersecurity. Owing to the characteristics of network connectivity, malicious actions may cause losses during information exchanges in communication. Therefore, studying suspicious behaviors and covering potential exploits are necessary to protect networked computers. To determine possible threats, researchers need an experimental environment that enables them to explore and practice. A network emulation testbed provides such a platform to fulfill these purposes. This paper introduces Testbed@TWISC, a large‐scale network emulation testbed on Taiwan's research and education network that supported open research and cybersecurity education for almost 10 years. The paper reviews this testbed's origination, development, and operation experiences. Several findings and open issues of the testbed are also discussed. Readers who plan to build network security testbeds may find useful information in this paper for a case study.

“…It is a Ruby library (gem) aggregating various snippets useful in the context of development of experiment control scripts on Grid'5000. It interacts with the Grid'5000 infrastructure through an API 4 to manage the most common activities like resource reservation and deployment of environments. The current version of our tool is built to orchestrate private/consortium Ethereum blockchain platforms.…”

Abstract-Conducting experiments to evaluate blockchain applications is a challenging task for developers, because there is a range of configuration parameters that control blockchain environments. Many public testnets (e.g. Rinkeby Ethereum) can be used for testing, however, we cannot adjust their parameters (e.g. Gas limit, Mining difficulty) to further the understanding of the application in question and of the employed blockchain. This paper proposes an easy to use orchestration framework over the Grid'5000 platform. Grid'5000 is a highly reconfigurable and controllable large-scale testbed. We developed a tool that facilitates nodes reservation, deployment and blockchain configuration over the Grid'5000 platform. In addition, our tool can fine-tune blockchain and network parameters before and between experiments. The proposed framework offers insights for private and consortium blockchain developers to identify performance bottlenecks and to assess the behavior of their applications in different circumstances.
