This document discusses Virtual Wall, a testbed for networking research. It allows researchers to remotely create virtual network topologies with nodes, links, and impairments. The Virtual Wall can be used for projects related to future internet research, including Bonfire, Ofelia, ECode, and Euler. It has also been demonstrated at events like FI-week for networking experiments and management.
