EAGER: Internet Measurement Capability for FABRIC

该项目启动了互联网测量研究，作为织物试验台的科学推动者。该项目的技术部分重点研究将在Fabric中部署的三种不同的互联网测量系统。这些系统是对当前测量框架的补充，将利用Fabric的独特功能，包括可编程性和人工智能/机器学习。研究人员可以定制、配置和启动这些系统，为他们的研究收集数据。该项目的组织部分侧重于与Fabric团队的协调和与互联网测量社区的接触，以提高人们的认识并促进在研究研究中使用Fabric。该项目将调查、开发和部署基于主动探测器的测量、分布式网络蜜罐测量和物理层指标的被动测量的原型系统。还将研究用于测量交换矩阵内分布式应用的流量的系统。这些系统将作为虚拟机映像开发，可以集成到交换矩阵控制框架中并由其灵活管理。这项工作将解决的技术挑战包括调查和构建核心映像，与Fabric中的专门系统(包括GPS、高速数据包捕获、路由器等)集成，建立数据存储库，并与试验台运营人员协调以确保安全策略合规性。该项目将扩大Fabric的能力，以支持互联网测量研究，旨在扩大对互联网结构和行为的了解，并为下一代互联网系统和协议的设计和开发提供信息。该项目的外展部分将提高认识，并促进社区参与互联网测量系统的编制和开发。该项目还将影响本科生和研究生一级网络和数据科学新教材的开发。参与这些项目的学生将接受指导和培训。这个项目产生的所有软件和数据构件都将对社区可用。这些文档将包括将在Fabric中部署的所有原型互联网测量系统的文档。软件、数据、文档和出版物将无限期地从http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~pb/software_data.html，和Fabric试验台网页上获得，https://fabric-testbed.net/.This奖反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project initiates Internet Measurement Research as a science driver for the FABRIC testbed. The technical component of the project focuses on investigating three different Internet measurement systems that will be deployed in FABRIC. The systems are complementary to the current Measurement Framework and will utilize FABRIC's unique capabilities including programmability and artificial intelligence/machine learning. The systems can be customized, configured and launched by researchers to gather data for their studies. The organizational component of the project focuses on coordinating with the FABRIC team and outreach to the Internet measurement community to raise awareness and catalyze the use of FABRIC in research studies.The project will investigate, develop and deploy prototype systems for active probe-based measurement, distributed network honeypot measurement and passive measurement of physical layer metrics. A system for measuring traffic from distributed applications within FABRIC will also be investigated. These systems will be developed as virtual machine images that can be integrated into and managed flexibly by the FABRIC Control Framework. The technical challenges that will be addressed in this work include investigating and building the core images, integrating with specialized systems in FABRIC (including GPS, high-speed packet capture, routers, etc.), building data repositories and coordinating with testbed operations personnel to assure security policy compliance.The project will expand FABRIC’s capability to support Internet measurement research, which seeks to broaden understanding of Internet structure and behavior and inform the design and development of next generation Internet systems and protocols. The outreach component of this project will build awareness and facilitate community participation in FABRIC and development of Internet measurement systems. The project will also influence the development of new educational materials in networking and data science at the undergraduate and graduate level. The students who work on the projects will receive guidance and training. All software and data artifacts that emerge from this project will be available to the community. These will include documentation for all of the prototype Internet measurement systems that will be deployed in FABRIC. Software, data, documentation and publications will be available indefinitely from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~pb/software_data.html, and on the FABRIC testbed web pages at https://fabric-testbed.net/.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
