Testbed-as-a-Service
• Why Future Internet Testbeds Matters? • Offer programmable networks devoted for
experimentation • Test and validate new network
architectures and applications without disturbing the operation of the current Internet
• Several FI initiatives are deployed worldwide
• Our goals: • Build a Future Internet testbed in Brazil,
aligned with other worldwide initiatives • Promote Future Internet research in Brazil
and region • Foster a new generation of network
researchers

FIBRE Testbed Overview
• Large-scale Virtual Laboratory for students and network researchers • Application and/or lower network layers
• Characteristics • Diverse types of resources available
• Wireless, VMs, OpenFlow substrate, Sensor Networks
• Autonomous Federation of local Testbeds • SFA (Slice based Federated Architecture)
• Open and free to use
• Multiple Control Monitoring Frameworks • Easy to integrate with other CMFs

Current Status and Next Steps
• Architecture Upgrade • Single resource management and reservation interface
• Adoption of a new Control and Management Framework (OMF 6.0)
• Support for network services (NFV)
• Support for the OpenFlow 1.3 protocol
• Extensibility and integration of new resource types • IoT, sensors and actuators, photonics, cloud,…
• Partnership with other initiatives and projects • E.g. FUTEBOL and BAMBU
• Expansion is in course on three institutions in Brazil and one in Uruguay
