Abstract. Traditionally, testbeds for networking and systems research have been stand-alone facilities: each is owned and operated by a single administrative entity, and is intended to be used independently of other testbeds. However, this isolated facility model is at odds with researchers' ever-increasing needs for experiments at larger scale and with a broader diversity of network technologies. The research community will be much better served by a federated model. In this model, each federated testbed maintains its own autonomy and unique strengths, but all federates work together to make their resources available under a common framework. Our challenge, then, is to design a federated testbed framework that balances competing needs: We must establish trust, but at the same time maintain the autonomy of each federated facility. While providing a unified interface to a broad set of resources, we need to expose the diversity that makes them valuable. Finally, our federation should work smoothly in a coordinated fashion, but avoid central points of failure and inter-facility dependencies. We argue that treating testbed design as a federated distributed systems problem is an effective approach to achieving this balance. The technique is illustrated through the example of ProtoGENI, a system we have designed, built, and operated according to the federated model.

In realizing futuristic services with agility, testbed environments that provide converged computing/networking resources based on SDN (Software-Defined Networking) and CC (Cloud Computing) are becoming important. Following this trend, OF@TEIN OpenFlow-enabled SDN testbed environment is built with internationally-distributed unique SmartX Racks. In this paper, to automate the multi-point L2 inter-connections of OpenFlow islands, we design and implement a configuration tool for NVGRE (Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunneling. The proposed tool manages the desired topology by leveraging the OVSDB (Open vSwitch Database) configuration interface for OpenFlow switches. With the implemented tool and appropriate admin/user privilege management, we can quickly inter-connect the multi-point international OpenFlow islands while letting users to freely control (i.e., tag/steer/map) their own flows for experimentation.
