2nd FEDERICA Workshop - Documents

Presentation

Chairs - Peter Szegedi (TERENA)

This session will present the experimental network infrastructure being developed by the FEDERICA project. It will outline the techniques being developed to enable trialling of new networking technologies over production infrastructures, as well as the mechanisms used to allocate and control network resources. The session will also cover related network virtualisation initiatives

The FEDERICA Project: Innovating in Computing network Architectures

FEDERICA is a European Project that manages a distributed e-Infrastructure based on virtualization, to support research on networking and Future Internet technologies. The talk will provide an update of the status and findings of the project.

Extending MANTICORE to Manage IP and Virtual Machine Slices in the FEDERICA project

FEDERICA will provide an IT infrastructure made of switches, routers and computing nodes that will allow the research networking community to test new protocols and techniques for the future Internet. MANTICORE is a software solution that delivers infrastructure as a service to router devices and IP networks. One of the main goals of FEDERICA is to allow network researchers to share the FEDERICA infrastructure without interfering each other’s experiments. To achieve FEDERICA objectives the MANTICORE system will be enhanced with software routers and computer virtualization capabilities. This paper explains how the MANTICORE tool is being enhanced to satisfy FEDERICA requirements.

Future Internet Research and Experimentation

FIRE Future Internet Research and Experimentation is an initiative under
the ICT theme of EU Framework Programme 7. The initiative has two related dimensions: Building a European Experimental Facility for Future Internet research, and supporting experimentally-driven advanced research, which defines the challenges for and takes advantage of the dynamically evolving facility. The FIREworks Support Action coordinates and supports interworking of testbed activities in Europe and their respective connections outside of Europe, mainly to North America and Far East.
FIREworks builds the FIRE Initiative a) by hosting FIRE Community, and b) by building common European FIRE Strategy, including architectural guidelines for FIRE Facility.
