It is increasingly recognised that the current Internet architecture is being
challenged by unprecedented scale, new applications, untethered mobile wireless
access, and domain-specific network scenarios and technologies including MANETs
(mobile ad hoc networks) and wireless sensor networks. At the same time we
increasingly rely on the Internet for all aspects of our lives.
The ability to evolve the Internet architecture to meet these challenges
depends in part on the ability to test proposed protocols, services and
configurations in a realistic setting at an appropriate scale. This requires
testbeds that have significant scale, geographic scope, and that have a
programmable Internet waist to permit experimentation with new addressing,
forwarding, routing, and signalling paradigms. The GENI (Global Environments
for Network Innovation) program in the US, and FIRE (Future Internet Research
and Experimentation) programme in Europe have recognised and are funding this
need.
With this special issue of Computer Networks, we solicit papers that that
describe the results of experimentation on the architecture, implementation,
and deployment of Future Internet (FI) testbeds. While we are especially
interested in experimental results, we also seek insightful papers that
describe testbed architectures and their deployment issues, challenges, and
experience.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• programmable FI testbed architectures
• scalability in node count, interconnection complexity, and geographic
scope
• interoperation and extension across research networks (such as
Internet2, NLR, GÉANT2, JANET, JGN-X, and KOREN/KREONET)
• heterogeneity and FI testbeds for domain-specific networks
• alternative communication paradigms (e.g. packets vs. circuits)
• deployment challenges and experiences
• federation of heterogeneous testbeds with one another and with
• instrumentation and measurement of FI testbeds
• management of FI testbeds that are distributed across administrative
domains
• security, use policy, and broad research community access to FI
testbeds
• experiment design, methodology, and verification
• experimental results that could not have been achieved on traditional
end-system or localized testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab or Emulab)
Submission format
The submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and describe
original research which is not published nor currently under review by other
journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be
found at www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet/
Submission Guideline
