“…In the initial phase, only 16 nodes were available for conducting experiments, while in phase 3, there are 198 nodes providing computing resources to testbed users. Phase 4 saw the deployment of virtual machines on shared hardware, and the NetFPGA was tentatively equipped into several nodes for providing embedded resources on network component evaluation and verification. The overall testbed infrastructure is shown in Figure . Control framework: The core software of Testbed@TWISC was inherited from Emulab .…”

“…Furthermore, performance‐wise, the node hardware of Testbed@TWISC is not equipped to host a large number of virtual machines—each node may be able to host just a few virtual nodes. Hence, we decided to use the bare metal solution for providing virtual machine nodes to testbed users . The developing architecture is shown as Figure .…”

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.

“…With support from a project award by the National Science Council of Taiwan government, researchers at NCKU and KUAS have been designing and maintaining a network testbed that interconnects several heterogeneous datacenters across the public Internet. The current implementation and deployment has supported several research projects and applications, including cloud federation [34], international testbed interconnections [31], and network/security research experiments over production networks [35,36]. With the system support, each sliver service could be allocated a portion of network resources that may be hosted either on the hosts within a datacenter or on a collection of physical hosts across different datacenters.…”

Many important societal activities are global in scope, and as these activities continually expand world-wide, they are increasingly based on a foundation of advanced communication services and underlying innovative network architecture, technology, and core infrastructure. To continue progress in these areas, research activities cannot be limited to campus labs and small local testbeds or even to national testbeds. Researchers must be able to explore concepts at scaleto conduct experiments on world-wide testbeds that approximate the attributes of the real world. Today, it is possible to take advantage of several macro information technology trends, especially virtualization and capabilities for programming technology resources at a highly granulated level, to design, implement and operate network research environments at a global scale. GENI is developing such an environment, as are research communities in a number of other countries. Recently, these communities have not only been investigating techniques for federating these research environments across multiple domains, but they have also been demonstration prototypes of such federations. This chapter provides an overview of key topics and experimental activities related to GENI international networking and to related projects throughout the world.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture which decouples networks control plane and data plane physically. It makes control plane programmable trough a centralized controller, and builds intelligent and flexible networks. The OpenFlow is one of the most famous SDN protocols, which acts as a southbound interface between control plane and data plane. In this survey, SDN implementation approaches and different southbound interfaces, beside different version of OpenFlow, are introduced. In addition to general architecture of SDN, different wireless architectures are discussed. Here, also potential SDN's applications and research areas including hot topics such as Information Centric Networks, Cloud and datacenters, multimedia, wireless and mobile networks over SDN are reviewed.
