FIBRE (legacy) testbed is an experimental platform for networking research and education built on infrastructure from the FIBRE project and operated as a service by the Brazilian NREN. It aims to be integrated with major worldwide testbeds. Data protection, isolation of data flows between users, and portability of experiment data and results are key requirements to attract industry usage. Future plans include deploying new control software, training materials, and thematic "islands" for wireless, IoT, programmable networks and cloud experimentation.

5. Building FIBRE’s roadmap
7
• Technical Committe’s Short-term projects (Oct/2015 to Jan/2016)
• Identification of essential requirements
• E.g. Interoperability with other testbeds, reproducibility of experiments,
extensibility, unique control software etc.
Project name (proof of concept) Leading
Institution
Usando XOS para Gerenciamento de Infraestruturas experimentais UFPA
Proposta de uma WebGUI amigável para o FIBRE UFF
Openvirtex no ambiente FIBRE UFRJ

6. • A plataform for experimentation and education on
computer networks, built on top of FIBRE’s project legacy
infrastructure and operated as a service for the academic
community.
Main results expected/achieved
The principal assets that will last
as a legacy for future uptake;
• Vision: A testbed service, integrated to major testbed
infrastructures worldwide, operated by the Brazilian NREN

7. • Data protection is key to attract industry to use the testbed
(concern about industrial espionage) > Need to improve
data policies
• Data flows are isolated from other testbed users
• Portability of data (experiment setup and results) is listed as
one of the main requirements
How the project ... cross-border demonstrations
will address ... personal data protection, flows of
data, portability of data, etc

8. • Deploy OMF6 as the new control software
• Produce new training material for operators and users
• Promote actions to train professors to use the testbed in the
classroom
• Installation of new islands (support to FUTEBOL´s members)
• Rethinking the testbed hardware arquitecture
• Ideas of creating thematic islands for experimentation with:
wireless resources, IoT sensors, programmable network
components and… cloud computing infrastructures.
Future Plans
