Emulating over 10K AS topology with massive VM multiplexing

New technologies that will be introduced to the Internet should be practically tested for effectiveness and for side effects. A realistic environment that simulates the Internet is needed to experimentally test such technologies, which will be widely deployed on the Inter-net. To support experimentation in a realistic, Internet-like environ-ment, we are now trying to construct an Internet on a testbed. We describe our method of constructing an Internet-like environment on the testbed in [1]. In the prototype system of our method, an esti-mated inter-AS network, which are outfitted by several topology fil-tering rules described in [2], are achieved in a testbed environment with multiplexing by XEN virtualization. In this demonstration, we try to construct an over 10,000-AS network on StarBED [3], with multiplexing more than 60 virtual nodes on a physical server, and we visualize the eBGP behavior on the constructed AS network. We also explain the detail of our method on a small testbed demo set. Categories and Subject Descriptor
