This deliverable detailes the experimentation efforts undertaken in ARCFIRE. It encompasses 5 Experiments, each investigating aspects of the converged operator scenario set up by WP2. The first experiment investigated the differences between a RINA and an evolutionary 5G network in terms of management complexity, targeting configuration management deploying a new service. This experiment shows that
This document reports on the updates to the RINA implementations and related software that were necessary to enable ARCFIRE large-scale experimentations, starting from the status of the implementation as described in D3.1. The resulting final software suite is able to support networks with hundreds of nodes, thousand of active flows, and several layers of stacked
New networking technology has always alluded to the positive outcomes it will bring to the table, a route to increase the good things with the network, where it goes even faster, bigger and more software- programmable. While there is a hidden balance at play here for the network operator, were they have to ensure that bad things don’t happen,
Since the early workshops, RINA-based technology has matured significantly over the past few years. There are multiple RINA stack implementations, prototypes of all the key value propositions, fully operational testbeds and test traffic generators, hackathon examples of engaged developers, and clear use cases with immediate industrial application. There are demos of how to transport RINA
Last week ARCFIRE researchers presented and demoed Rumba at the Infocom CNERT workshop. The presentation was done after the an excellent keynote on “The Art and Science of Testbed Experimentation“, which complained about the lack of automation in experimental research. This was an excellent precedent for discussing Rumba, which automates deployment, execution and monitoring of RINA experiments in a
The Pouzin Society (PSOC) and the H2020 ARCFIRE project are organizing the 5th international RINA Workshop at Barcelona, hosted by Fundació i2CAT. The event is designed as a two-days workshop in which the first day is devoted to discussions about use cases, Proof of Concepts and RINA exploitation opportunities; while the second day will be
ARCFIRE researchers were present at the 3rd Fed4FIRE conference to give a demo of Rumba, the framework in Python developed in Work Package 3 of ARCFIRE which allows a user to write a Python script to define a RINA network. A 5,5 hour demonstration of RINA and Rumba was given in the poster and demo session
As part of the activities that took place during the ARCFIRE F2F meeting in Madrid organized by Telefonica, ARCFIRE representatives delivered a RINA tutorial to interested Telefonica employees. The tutorial, scoped within Telefonica’s internal training programme, was designed to introduce RINA to groups of Telefonica that were not previously aware of it but that may benefit from
Nextworks R&D team has participated to the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN), organized by IMDEA Networks and Univ. Carlos III Madrid from 14-16 February 2018. The conference is a highly selective single-track international conference focusing on premier research results at the intersection of embedded systems and wireless networking – an area of
A paper describing Rumba – the RINA experimentation automation framework – entitled “Rumba: a Python Framework for AutomatingLarge-Scale Recursive Internet Experiments on GENI and FIRE+” has been accepted for presentation at the IEEE Infocom 2018 Workshop on CNERT (Computer and Network Experimental Research using Testbeds) in Hawai. Congratulations to the iMec and Nextworks ARCFIRE teams!! Abstract A number
