Abstract
Federated testbeds for future Internet experimentation have been deployed worldwide to enable large scale and diverse experiments with future Internet technologies ranging from components to complete systems. They serve the purpose of validating new solutions to identified problems and to compare them with current or other evolving solutions. The proliferation of management frameworks and in particular of measurement and monitoring tools poses often a great challenge for the experimenter. OpenLab is addressing the interoperability of testbeds at several levels. In this article we describe how the OpenLab testbeds cope with divergent measurement and monitoring requirements originating from four identified experiments that each of them has its own original research objectives.
