Abstract:
As Internet continues to grow in width and depth, its very architecture presents challenges when it comes to implementing innovations. For testing new developments, networking developers need an environment for evaluating their ideology and practicality. The testing environment is required to emulates as production network, and it also have to operate in the private area without real-world interference. Under this circumstance, network testbed provides such a platform for the developers. This paper presents the TaiWan Advanced Research and Education Network testbed, a largescale as well as multi-layer network testbed constructed for network research, and it is designed to orchestrate and aggregate resources of different testbed sites for supporting experiments conduction. The paper aims to share the building experience of this network testbed, introducing the key development points and future work.
