Abstract
The usage of testbeds is considered a key tool for
exploring the development of new protocols and network
architectures in the area of network research. Testbeds,
together with simulations, are the basic tool set of
network researchers to drive research, but often it is
impossible to get feedback from real deployments and
their respective data traffic. Today's major testbed
facilities, e.g., VINI and PlanetLab, aim at emulating
the behavior of large-scale networks, but they are still
several orders of magnitude smaller than the deployed
operational network infrastructure. We argue that it
is time to extend network research beyond theoretical
and testbed approaches towards a dynamic, peer-to-peer
based testbed environment, similar to the approach taken
by seti@home and BOINC. We aim at expanding the total
number of participating nodes in an experiment and at
experimenting on existing operational infrastructure
with its entirely uncontrollable environment. Our vision
presented in this paper, the Testbed on Real Infrastructure
(TORI), includes regular end hosts (peers) in an experiment
by deploying and executing the experimental software on
these peers and to form an overlay network upon them. The
main difference of our TORI approach compared to others
is installing new technologies and testing them with the
operational infrastructure.
