ICN Stage: um ambiente para avaliação experimental de ICN

Abstract

Keywords: After years of research and development based mainly on analytical and sim- ulational methodologies, the ICN community has invested efforts in experimental evalu- ations towards the implantation of the technology. However, this methodology involves challenges related to the testbed, such as heterogeneity and faults of nodes and links. To overcome these challenges, we present ICN-STAGE, a framework for reproducible and faulttolerant distributed ICN experiments. In ICN-STAGE, experiments are plays with processes (roles) enacted by nodes (actors) in a testbed (stage). A controller (director) instruments actors, ensures global coordination, detects actor failures, and replaces them as needed. Results from Mininet and FIBRE evidence ICN-STAGE’s feasibility and potentialities.
