Shared internet-scale measurement platforms
HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)(2021)
摘要
The internet research community benefits from being able to deploy experimental software and conduct measurements from vantage points broadly scattered across the network. The currently widest-spread platform, RIPE Atlas, present in 6% of IPv4 and 9% of IPv6 ASes, allows a few types of measurements from mostly resource-limited devices. PlanetLab offers general software deployment, but the US-based instance is gone, while PlanetLab Europe continues with just 36 nodes that offer a four-year-old Linux distribution on nodes that may be twice that age. The software-only Seattle testbed came closest to offering the community the ability to run both general code and measurements from a large number of vantage points. Can we draw lessons from experience going pack over twenty years (see table) to break through and finally put into production an internet-scale general-purpose fully measurement-capable platform? This white paper addresses two of the critical questions raised by the WOMBIR workshop: (1) What infrastructure is needed for such [internet measurement] data? (2) How can we develop best practices to facilitate cooperation or collaboration with commercial service providers as we collect data?
