NEPTUNE for fast and easy deployment of OMF virtual network testbeds
Roberto Bifulco — Tue, 11/09/2010 - 19:39
In the last few years many emulation systems have been developed to evaluate the effectiveness of new protocols and applications in realistic and controllable network scenarios. NEPTUNE is a flexible architecture for cluster-based network emulation systems designed and implemented at University of Napoli Federico II. In this poster we first introduce the key components of NEPTUNE, then we show how, by leveraging the features of the OMF open-source platform (cOntrol and Management Framework) our platform is able to completely automatize the experimental procedure, from the definition of an emulated network topology to the collection of experimental results. Our system allows the fast creation of ``virtual OMF testbeds'', a feature that can be useful for teaching OMF and demoing its capabilities.
