UiTiOt: A Container-Based Network Emulation Testbed

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an emulation testbed, namely UiTiOt, a container-based testbed aims to provide a usable and scalable way to establish the wired-network infrastructure to perform wireless network emulation. The testbed utilizes the cloud infrastructure at University of Information and Technology (UiT) campus to deploy experiment nodes that integrated the wireless network emulation tool QOMET in order to mimic, in real time, the wireless communication behavior in the wired-network. In addition, a web application is developed to enhance the user effort in designing topology and deploying the virtual nodes and network based on user-defined experiment scenario. The use-cases and effectiveness of the testbed are also discussed.
