| Abstract |
|
PlanetLab is a globally distributed overlay platform
that has been increasingly used by researchers to deploy and
assess planetary-scale network services. This paper analyzes
some particular advantages of PlanetLab, and then investigates
its evolution process, geographical node-distribution, and
network topological features. The revealed results are helpful for
researchers to 1) understand the history of PlanetLab and some
of its important properties quantitatively; 2) realize the dynamic
of PlanetLab environment and design professional experiments;
3) select stable nodes that possess a high probability to run
continuously for a long time; and 4) objectively and in depth
evaluate the experimental results.
