OneLab was a European project funded under the FP6 and FP7 European program aiming to run and develop testbeds for research and experimentation on future internet technologies. The core testbed is PlanetLab Europe, the European arm of the global PlanetLab system. It is powered by PlanetLab code, for which OneLab is the co-developers with Princeton University. Around this core, OneLab has extended PlanetLab into New environment facilities (Wireless, Emulation, UMTS, Multi homing, SAC, Content), deepening the monitoring with active and passive measurement tools. Among others I've been involved in: Administrating PlanetLab Europe platform (support, deployment, legal) Validating the new environment components of the testbed before the production release. Developing the Topology information component (TopHat) as a standard service for PlanetLab users Deploying active measurement tools to fill TopHat with topological information Disseminating OneLab on several talks and technical reports.
Active measurements was my principal focus as a research area during my PhD. I've been working on setting up a Topology information component, TopHat, that aims at studying the Internet dynamics at the IP level. This component is built on a smart algorithm that learns topological changes to better track Internet dynamics and proposes an API that can serve the research community to query its database for retrieving topological information. The active measurements are done with new and innovative tools that resolve measurement artifacts (paris-traceroute) and enhance distributed measurement with DHT (traceroute@home).
Nowadays, the internet has grown into a heterogeneous network that uses a large range of technologies from its edges to its core. On the user side, a large choice of devices has arisen and the interoperability between all these technologies is an actual challenge. With the IoT, new objects are implemented to be able to communicate among each other. Thus they need to know the underlying Object topology to reach each other. We have worked on an heterogeneous object mapping tool providing an overlay objects map that can be queried by IoT devices. It could also leverage new routing protocols for the IoT.
