The Internet is an indispensable part of society today, but many of the details about how well it operates are poorly understood. This project will support and enhance the Seattle community testbed, one of the tools supporting experimentation for measuring and understanding the Internet. The Seattle testbed allows researchers the ability to safely run experiments on real user devices and networks and gives experimenters access to thousands of devices around the world. End users must decide to 'opt-in' by installing the Seattle software on their tablet, smartphone, or other computing device to participate in Seattle. Via enhancements to the Seattle platform, the project will improve the ability of researchers to understand smartphone and future network environments as they exist in the Internet today, so that they may improve the Internet and design better networks in the future.This project will support the continued growth and development of the Seattle Testbed. The programming APIs of the Seattle sandbox will be enhanced to add support for IPv6, reading device sensors, and multi-homing. It will also improve support for NAT traversal, mobility, and similar code on the platform. Several scalability and stability issues with the platform will be addressed, including automated build testing and similar practices. The project will also more explicitly expose the community-driven development model at the project's core to make it easier for outside groups to participate in Seattle development and to also address the long-term sustainability of the Seattle code-base.

互联网是当今社会不可或缺的一部分，但人们对互联网运作的许多细节却知之甚少。 该项目将支持和加强西雅图社区测试平台，这是支持测量和理解互联网的实验的工具之一。 西雅图测试平台使研究人员能够在真实的用户设备和网络上安全地运行实验，并使实验人员能够访问世界各地的数千台设备。 最终用户必须通过在其平板电脑、智能手机或其他计算设备上安装西雅图软件来决定“选择加入”以参与西雅图。 通过对西雅图平台的增强，该项目将提高研究人员了解智能手机和未来网络环境的能力，因为它们存在于今天的互联网中，以便他们可以改善互联网和设计更好的网络在未来。该项目将支持西雅图测试床的持续增长和发展。 西雅图沙箱的编程API将得到增强，以增加对IPv6、阅读设备传感器和多宿主的支持。 它还将改进对NAT穿越、移动性和平台上类似代码的支持。 该平台的几个可伸缩性和稳定性问题将得到解决，包括自动构建测试和类似的实践。 该项目还将更明确地揭示项目核心的社区驱动开发模式，使外部团体更容易参与西雅图的开发，并解决西雅图代码库的长期可持续性问题。
