etomic:a pan-European testbed Péter Hága Collegium Budapest Institute for Advanced Study
History • The European Traffic Observatory Measurement InfrastruCture (etomic) was created in 2004-05 within the Evergrow Integrated Project. • Since 2005 it is also part of a national programme Center for Comm. Net. Data Analysis ( ~ 3 M€) • Its goals: • to provide open access, public testbed for researchers experimenting the Internet • to serve as a Virtual Observatory active measurement data on the European part of the Internet Best Testbed Award ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org
Founders • Built by the Center for Communication Network Data Analysis (CNDA). • Central management system by Navarra University, Spain • The measurement stations are hosted by European Universities in the Evergrow project, EuroLab members, MoMe members, associate partners of CNDA ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org
Eurolabs Collaboration • an etomic station is hosted in the Eurolabs laboratory in Brussels • the etomic station arrived at Université Libre de Bruxelles in the summer of 2005 • reached the fully operational state in the autumn of 2005 ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org

Hardware architecture • Each station consists of: • Server PCarchitecture • DAG 3.6 GE card with packet sending capability (Endace) • own GPS antenna (Garmin) for time synchronization • Repository and data processing: • Everlab IBM blade center (112 blades) ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org

Web interface • Available via www.etomic.org • Account application -> own experiment design • Free access/sharing of measurement data • Experiment time slot reservation for registered users • Programming DAG card via the user friendly Application Programming Interface • Experiments are distributed automatically to the stations ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org

Experimental use cases Some ongoing topics
1. Testing a new available bandwidth meter • Upload your available bandwidth meter via the web interface. Deploy it to the sites of your choice. Book measurement time and schedule your experiment. ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org
2. Transport protocol testing • Upload a new protocol version as an experiment and test it in real Internet + custom designed cross traffic ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org
3. Network Tomography Goal: to resolve delaystatistics on internal network segments too, where we do not have monitoring stations Method: we send back-to-back packet pairs and measure their end-to-end delay at arrival with very high precision Key idea:delay correlation on the common segment for the packets in a pair ETOMIC the European Internet experimentation infrastructure www.etomic.org
