This project creates a Mobile Internet Testbed for Application Traffic Experimentation (MITATE) - a large-scale mobile application prototyping platform. MITATE will enable developers to evaluate protocol design choices, application deployment alternatives, and component mobility mechanisms - all in live mobile networks spanning geographic areas, carriers, and devices. MITATE will also benefit the computing research community by lowering the barrier to experimentation on mobile devices in production networks.MITATE allows experimentation with custom mobile application traffic between mobile devices and cloud infrastructure endpoints, on which application back-end logic is deployed. MITATE is designed as a collaborative framework, in which participants contribute their mobile network resources and are allowed, in turn, to run their traffic experiments on others devices. The MITATE design, specifically the tit-for-tat data credit system and the separation of traffic generation functionality from application logic, will ensure safe and self-scaling testbed operation. This testbed will enable novel and compelling research at Montana State University on self-optimizing low latency protocols.

该项目创建了一个移动的互联网应用流量实验（MITATE）-一个大规模的移动的应用原型平台。MITATE将使开发人员能够评估协议设计选择、应用程序部署备选方案和组件移动机制-所有这些都在跨越地理区域、运营商和设备的实时移动的网络中进行。MITATE还将降低在生产网络中的移动的设备上进行实验的障碍，从而使计算研究社区受益。MITATE允许在移动的设备和云基础设施端点之间进行自定义移动的应用流量的实验，应用后端逻辑部署在云基础设施端点上。MITATE被设计为一个协作框架，在该框架中，参与者贡献他们的移动的网络资源，并被允许在其他设备上运行他们的流量实验。 MITATE的设计，特别是达特的数据信用系统和流量生成功能与应用逻辑的分离，将确保安全和自扩展的测试平台操作。该测试平台将使蒙大拿州立大学对自优化低延迟协议的新颖而引人注目的研究成为可能。
