Abstract

GNET-1 is a fully programmable network testbed. It provides functions such as wide area network emulation, network instrumentation, traffic shaping, and traffic generation at gigabit Ethernet wire speeds by programming the core FPGA. GNET-1 is a powerful tool for developing network-aware grid software. It is also a network monitoring and traffic-shaping tool that provides high-performance communication over wide area networks. This work describes several sample uses of GNET-1 and presents its architecture.
