The ASP Experimental Facility offers full control over network resources, allowing for the reservation of specific resources and minimizing side effects for quality assurance in experiments. It supports scalability, simplified administrative resource management, and testing of Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) without disrupting live networks. With monitoring using Nagios and management through a central website, it provides experimental services, virtualization solutions, and integration with other facilities like Planet-Lab and GpENI, ensuring a versatile platform for research and experimentation.
