NorNet – A Linux- and Open-Source-Software-based International Platform for Networking Research
summary
NorNet is an open international testbed running Linux with KVM and LXC hosts, BTRFS storage and per-ISP source-based routing tables (ip rule + multiple routing tables) to expose up to four ISPs per site, using GRE tunnels so researchers get private addressing across sites. It currently spans 21 locations (11 in Norway, 10 abroad) and a ~200-node mobile edge for measurements, and supports the Linux MPTCP implementation and SCTP for multi-path experiments—deployed and used for real intercontinental measurements.
