Testbed Open Portal #

The current Future Internet testbeds in Korea are listed below.

FIRST Testbed #

Contact: Sunhee Yang (shying@etri.re.kr), Young Hwa Kim (yhwkim@etri.re.kr)
Participants: ETRI, GIST, NIA, KISTI
Description: FiRST (Future Internet Research for Sustainable Testbed) project aims to provide a common testbed that supports multiple simultaneous testing of innovative network architectures and services without any interference from each other by enabling extreme programmability and virtualization capabilities.

FIRST@PC Testbed #

Contact: JongWon Kim (jongwon@gist.ac.kr)
Participants: GIST, Chungnam National University, POSTECH, Kyung Hee University
Description: FIRST@PC (Future Internet Research for Sustainable Testbed) is an experimental project in South Korea aimed at creating a future Internet testbed and investigating innovative ideas on developed platforms. The primary goal of the project is research and development for a media-centric service composition. From 2009 to 2014, dynamic media-centric service composition technologies using virtualized network environments will be constructed, and results will be shared globally.

Private PlanetLab Korea (PPK) #

Contact: Sue Moon (sbmoon@kaist.edu)
Participants: KAIST, NIA, KT, GIST
Description: Private PlanetLab Korea (PPK) is a PlanetLab-based testbed run by KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology). The aim of PPK is to help researchers using KOREN (Korea Advanced Research Network) in their networking research, and cultivate Future Internet research in South Korea. As of December 30th 2008 PPK runs a total of eight nodes at four different sites: KAIST, the National Information Agency (NIA), Korea Telecom (KT), and the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST). Federation with PPK was completed in November 2010.

OpenFlow@KREONET #

Contact: Wontaek Hong (wthong@kisti.re.kr)
Participants: KISTI
Description: OF@KREONET is a nation-wide OpenFlow testbed, which is operated in a pure layer 2 environment over KREONET without layer 3 tunneling. It

consists of controllers and commercial OpenFlow switches (HP ProCurve switches) which have been installed in three cities: Daejeon, Seoul and Kwangju. They are connected to each other by 1G dedicated links and are also connected to campus OpenFlow networks such as OF@GIST and OF@CNU. It has been used to enable network researchers to run their experiments. Additionally, it will be utilized to design new service platforms for future KREONET.
