IBBT iLab.t技术中心提供计算硬件、软件工具和测量设备，以支持研究人员和开发人员构建他们的信通技术解决方案，并衡量这些解决方案的性能。在其他方面，iLab.t托管了几个基于Emulab的通用有线测试环境，称为虚拟墙，以及两个无线测试环境，它们被归类为w-iLab.t。直到最近，这些有线和无线测试设施都有自己的历史：它们由不同的人员组来部署和维护，使用不同的工具进行操作，每个都有自己的实验人员社区。本文介绍了虚拟墙和w-iLab.t设施的起源和发展。它解释了如何通过使用OMF和Emulab框架的最佳部分来联合这些设施。它讨论了我们当地联合会的好处以及我们未来的联合会计划。
The IBBT iLab.t technology centre provides computing hardware, software tools and measurement equipment to support researchers and developers in building their ICT solutions, and in measuring the performance of these solutions. Among other things, the iLab.t hosts several generic Emulab-based wired test environments called the Virtual Walls, and two wireless test environments which are grouped under the name w-iLab.t. Until very recently, these wired and wireless test facilities each had their own history: they were deployed and maintained by a different group of people, were operated using different tools, and each had their own community of experimenters. This paper provides insight on the origin and evolution of the Virtual Wall and w-iLab.t facilities. It explains how these facilities were federated, by using the best parts of both the OMF and Emulab frameworks. It discusses the benefits of our local federation as well as our future federation plans.
