Paper Abstract:
|
Current testing solutions for distributed systems lack methods to reproduce the conditions found in complex network infrastructures. We argue that the emulation of multi-level topologies and fine-grained network behavior is necessary to provide an adequate testbed for experiments with distributed systems. Therefore, we developed an extensible emulation environment called NESSEE, which emulates application behavior as well as network aspects. Evaluation results show its applicability for large-scale tests. Furthermore, the developed NESSEE platform is actually used by our industry partner Citrix Online for testing video conferencing systems. |
