CRI: PlanetLab: A Community Resource Development Program

摘要程序：NSF 04-588 CISE计算研究结构标题：CRI：行星实验室：社区资源开发计划提案：CNS-0454278 PI：Larry L.彼得森机构：普林斯顿大学这个社区资源项目将把PlanetLab测试平台扩展到大约350个站点的大约1000个节点。PlanetLab是一个覆盖网络，为网络服务的研究创新提供了一个环境，也为客户社区提供了一个引入新服务的平台。作为一个研究测试平台，PlanetLab提供了一组地理分布的机器，一个现实的网络基底，在链路上经历拥塞，故障和不同的行为，以及客户端计算机上的现实工作负载。作为一个部署平台，PlanetLab为研究人员提供了一个技术转移路径，用于获得社区支持的服务，并为用户提供访问这些创新服务的机会。PlanetLab的用户活跃在网络架构、测量和建模、内容分发和教育等领域。该项目的更广泛影响包括使更广泛的社区有机会参与尖端的网络研究，将主机站点扩展到EPSCOR州，HBCU和文科学院;并使行业和国际参与这一努力。

AbstractProgram: NSF 04-588 CISE Computing Research InfrastructureTitle: CRI: PlanetLab: A Community Resource Development Program Proposal: CNS-0454278 PI: Larry L. PetersonInstitution: Princeton University This community resource project will extend the PlanetLab testbed to approximately 1000 nodes at approximately 350 sites. PlanetLab is an overlay network providing an environment for both research innovation in network services and a platform for introducing new services to client communities. As a research testbed, PlanetLab provides a geographically distributed set of machines, a realistic network substrate that experiences conjestion, failures, and diverse behavior at links, and realistic workloads at client computers. As a deployment platform, PlanetLab provides researchers with a technology transfer path for services that have community support and provides users with access to these innovative new services. Users of PlanetLab are active in areas such as network architectures, measurement and modeling, content distribution, and education. Broader impacts of this project include enabling a wider community opportunities to engage in cutting edge networking research, extending the host sites to EPSCOR states, HBCU's, and liberal arts colleges; and engaging both industry and international participation in this effort.
