Estratégia de armazenamento de dados de experimentos baseada no IRODS para arcabouço de controle e monitoração da rede do projeto Fibre

Abstract

A Network for Experimentation (testbed) is a framework developed aiming at supporting new protocols, network services and applications experimentation, especially in the context of Future Internet. It enables an experimenter to configure, instantiate, execute, gather and save distributed experiments measurements (performed among "islands" – physical instances of the testbed) with the operation management being performed by a Control and Monitoring Framework – CMF. The network for experimentation of the FIBRE project, testbed used in this dissertation, is comprised of multiple CMFs (OFELIA – OpenFlow in Europe – Linking Infrastructure and Applications, OMF – Orbit Management Framework, and ProtoGENI) integrated in order to provide a more extended set of features and services to the experimenter. This dissertation proposes a strategy for transparent storage of FIBRE’s experiments measurement data executed in the distributed management network for experimentation in FIBRE Project. To do this, three applications of distributed storage were analyzed, considering technical issues for the transparent storage and federation. Based on that analysis, the iRODS solution was adopted as data management system and after, three strategies of storage were proposed in the context of project FIBRE, being chosen the strategy that allowed the most transparent access to monitoring data collected from the various native repositories. A case study validated the strategy chosen, which allowed the federation between instances of data storage and data retrieval.
