A DETER Federation Architecture

DETER testbeds[1] are a class of Emulabbased[2] testbed that provide a secure experimental environment through configuration and management. The DETER project[3] at ISI runs a DETER testbed with segments located at USC/ISI and the University of California at Berkeley consisting of more than 250 nodes. In addition to the original Emulab[4], there are several other testbeds based on the same software scattered throughout the US, e.g., Wisconsin’s WAIL[5], with different research focus and varying degrees of public access.
