Ditto Subsystem : A Case Study for Building Experiment Environment in StarBED Using TopDL

Testbed management tool is developed for the purpose of supporting user’s experiments. On the other hand, there are researches that developed a tool to enable experiments that testbed does not targeted. Although there are requests from users for using these tools, many are not provided to users in Testbed. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a framework for users to easily use or implement such tools in Testbed. We aimed to make it possible to use new tools easily without modifying of conventional Testbed management tool by implementing subsystem on testbed. In this paper, we describe the result of a case study for building the environment on StarBED resources using TopDL description which is the topology description language proposed by DeterLab.
