7. • Build a Future Internet testbed in Brazil, federated with
other worldwide testbed initiatives.
• Provide a large scale platform for promoting the Future
Internet research in Brazil and region.
• Educate the next generation of researchers by encouraging
a community of educators to use the testbed for teaching
classes on computer networks.

13. Number of unique testbed users
13
• Situation as of Feb. 2016 (total = 175)

14. • The use of a large-scale testbed give students first-hand experience to a
real-world situation, instead of using software tools
to simulate networks in the laboratory.
• With the use of Future Internet testbeds in computer-network classes,
we believe the next generation of researchers will be more
capable of dealing with architectural experiments and of continuously
evolving the current Internet architecture
FIBRE in the classroom (educational usage)

15. • Dissemination
• Produce new training material for operators and users
• Workshop targeting professors (with hands-on) at CSBC congress (5
July)
• Expansion
• Installation of new islands (support to FUTEBOL´s members)
• Porto Alegre (UFRGS)
• Vitória (UFES)
• Belo Horizonte (UFMG)
• Uberlândia (UFU)
• Technical Evolution
• Rethinking the testbed hardware arquitecture
• Include news resources as advanced wireless resources, IoT sensors,
programmable network components and cloud computing infrastructures.
• Deploy a unique control framework
• Deploy a international clearinghouse to federation with others testbed
Future Plans

16. International Cooperation
• OMF6 development
• University of Thessaly/UPMC
• Clearinghouse
• GENI and INRIA/OpenLab
• Federate to other facilities
• planned: Fed4Fire, OpenLab and GENI
• Interconnectivity
• planned: Fed4Fire, OpenLab and GENI
