  1. PlanetLab:A globally distributed testbed for New and Disruptive Services CS441 Mar 15th, 2005 Seungjun Lee seungjun@kaist.ac.kr

  2. Overview • Background • PlanetLab is… • Advantages • Key Design Principle • PlanetLab Virtual Machine • Slice Creation

  3. Background • Internet is increasingly being ossified • Still only best-effort packet delivery service • Not much changed to IP protocol since the first design • New global-scale services emerge • How to develop and test such services • The need of global-scale testing infrastructure

  4. PlanetLab is … • A set of Linux PCs widely-distributed • A common software architecture • A shared network testbed • A deployment platform

  5. Advantages • Experiment at scale • Experiment under real-world conditions • Potential for real workloads and users • Low entry cost

  6. Key Design Principle • Distributed virtualization • Slice : distributed set of virtual machine resources • Isolation • Isolate services from each other • Protect the Internet from PlanetLab

  7. Vserver Vserver Vserver Service 1 Service 2 Service n PlanetLab Virtual Machines Vserver Vserver Service 3 Service 4 Combined Isolation and Application Interface Linux + Resource Isolation + Safe Raw Sockets + Instrumentation Hardware

  8. PlanetLab Network Architecture • Node manger (one per node) • Create slices for service managers • When service managers provide valid tickets • Allocate resources for vservers • Resource Monitor (one per node) • Track node’s available resources • Tell agents about available resources

  9. PlanetLab Network Architecture • Agents (centralized) • Track nodes’ free resources • Advertise resources to resource brokers • Issue tickets to resource brokers • Tickets may be redeemed with node managers to obtain the resource

  10. PlanetLab Network Architecture • Resource Broker (per service) • Obtain tickets from agents on behalf of service managers • Service Managers (per service) • Obtain tickets from broker • Redeem tickets with node managers to acquire resources • If resources can be acquired, start service
