Wireless BattleMesh v8

The ‘Battle of the Mesh’ v8 is coming, a tournament about routing protocols for ad-hoc networks, with a social character. August 3-9, 2015, Maribor (SI), being their host Wlan Slovenia.

Community-Lab endorses and participates in the event. Lots of fun and useful work, discussions and etc.

Many developers and community networks will take part to […]

An overview of experiments

An overview of experiment usage of the testbed as reported by the testbed controller in allocation of slivers (virtual machines) per groups represented in a Treemap graph where the area is proportional to the number of slivers per experiment. The data is refreshed from the testbed controller every 15 minutes.

Moving the pointer over slices […]

An overview of node usage

An overview of node usage (research devices) by experiments (slices) as reported by the testbed controller in allocation of slivers (virtual machines) per groups represented in a Treemap graph where the area is proportional to the number of slivers allocated for experiments in a given node. The data is refreshed from the testbed controller every […]

Acceptable Usage Policy

We haven’t defined a specific Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Community-Lab but we endorse the Planet-Lab AUP as Community-Lab shares most of the assumptions with Planet-Lab. You can read the shorter version of the AUP from Planet-Lab.org or the more elaborate AUP from Planet-Lab.eu.

Similarly to Measurement-Lab, community networks are production broadband networks. Even though […]

The architecture of Community-Lab nodes

Check the final draft paper of “Community-Lab: Architecture of a Community Networking Testbed for the Future Internet” presented at The 1st International Workshop on Community Networks and Bottom-up-Broadband (CNBuB 2012), Barcelona 8 October 2012. It describes the requirements for testbed nodes, its architecture and integration within community networks.

Welcome to Community-Lab

Community-Lab is a global facility for the experimentation of new network services for community networks.

Since 2011 community network activists from Guifi.net (Catalonia), Funkfeuer (Wien) and AWMN (Athens) are testing experimental technologies for wireless community networks and other bottom-up broadband initiatives, including: radio and link layer, routing, transport and applications.

As of September 2013, Community-Lab […]
