The Logistical Networking Testbed

Logistical Multicast for Data Distribution linkbordercolor

This paper describes a simple scheduling procedure for use in multicast data distribution within a logistical networking infrastructure. The goal of our scheduler is to generate a distribution schedule that will exploit the best network paths by using historic network performance information. A ”spanning tree” is constructed between available logistical depots to help reduce the overall time of...

Sharing More than the Wires

Logistical Networking is the global scheduling and optimization of data movement, storage and computation based on a model that takes into account all the network's underlying physical resources. In this paper we contrast Logistical and Active Network as approaches to flexible implementation of advanced network protocols. We describe the Internet Backplane Protocol, a simple mechanism we have d...

Towards a Representive Testbed: Harnessing Volunteers for Networks Research

A steady rise in home systems has been seen over the past few years. As more systems are designed and deployed, an appropriate testbed is required to test these systems. Several systems exist, such as PlanetLab, that currently provide a networking testbed allowing researchers and developers to test and measure various applications. However in the long run such testbeds will be unable to keep up...

Introduction to the Topology Management Tool A Live Demonstration

The Topology Management Tool (ToMaTo) is a topology-oriented networking testbed for fully virtual networking experiments using virtual machines and virtual networking topologies. This demonstration will show the basic usage and some additional features of ToMaTo.
