Many researchers believe that the Internet is “ossified”, that is, its design is preventing the network to evolve in aspects such as security, mobility, and content distribution. However, it is difficult to test new ideas in a production environment like the Internet due to its stability requirements. As an alternative, part of the network research community is focused on building large-scale infrastructures called testbeds, where they can build their “own” network and test their ideas in a more realistic environment, similar to the Internet itself. This work discusses the challenges of a key function in a testbed: monitoring. To do this, we reviewed the state-of-the-art in monitoring systems for testbeds and then identified, described, and implemented a set of monitoring use cases in the FIBRE testbed. By implementing these use cases, we validate our proposals and lay a framework reusable in other similar environments.
