In 2003, to adapt to the new technological and application's requirements, we have formulated a new testbed concept, GEMnet2, combining the two separated experimental networks which were conceived for two different purposes and completed the first phase construction of the new testbed this year. Its three key aims are to let us test technologies for every aspect of communications, provide very wide bandwidth that can accommodate very fast applications without any restraints, and promote collaboration with other research networks. We are using DWDM/CWDM technologies to build multiple OC48 and GbE circuits between NTT's R&D centres in Musashino, Yokosuka and Atsugi and collaborative national research institutes including NII, NICT and NAOJ. GEMnet2 is also connected to SINET and Abilene with OC48 circuits to facilitate international experiments requiring very wide bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":299180,"journal":{"name":"First International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the DEvelopment of NeTworks and COMmunities","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130828300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Users visiting cultural sites hosted by local institutions expect to access information pertaining to cultural/artistic heritage from anywhere at anytime, as they can through the desk at their own homes or offices. The Ecumene Web Information System, developed in the groundwork of the Ecumene Project, offers a framework for accessing the artistic and cultural information through a Web application. In this paper, we expose the underlying communication network architecture, based on the IPv6 protocol and investigate the benefits of its adoption, in terms of mobility and security support. Indeed, the need of granting different access rights to different user classes enforces the security requirements of the system. Lastly, the open issues related to the practical integration of an experimental testbed with Mobile IPv6 and IPSec support are detailed and possible solutions are presented.","PeriodicalId":299180,"journal":{"name":"First International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the DEvelopment of NeTworks and COMmunities","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126304138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Network emulation is a hybrid approach that combines real elements of a deployed networked application-such as end hosts and protocol implementations-with synthetic, simulated, or abstracted elements-such as the network links, intermediate nodes and background traffic. A key difference between the two approaches is that in the former, the notion of time is virtual and is independent of real time, whereas the latter must execute in real time. Emulation gains realism while naturally foregoing complete repeatability; historically, emulation was also tedious to control and manage. We define integrated network experimentation as spatially combining real elements with simulated elements in the same experimental run, each modeling different portions of a network topology. Integrated experiments enable new validation techniques and larger experiments than obtainable by using real elements alone. This paper highlights the key issues in integrated network experimentation and presents some of the design techniques we use in designing, building, and putting into public production use such an integrated environment, running on a space-shared cluster.","PeriodicalId":299180,"journal":{"name":"First International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the DEvelopment of NeTworks and COMmunities","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133580029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
