FIRST (Future Internet Research for
Sustainable Testbed) Project Overview
Development of the core technology and virtualized
Programmable platform for Future Internet
 Period : March 2009 ~ February 2014 (5 years)
 Institutions: ETRI and 5 universities
Project Goal
 Research on the core technologies for FI platform realization
- programmability, network virtualization and control framework
 Development of the FI platform for domestic and Int’l experimental
infrastructure
- for Network architecture researchers and Service architecture researcher
- mid-range ATCA platform and PC-based platform

FIRST@PC OMX Toolkit – Progress
• Agent-based Implementation for experiment control
(service configuration, service composition, and service
monitoring) with user interfaces for experimenter
• Currently being implemented to work with OMF control
framework
– Monitoring with OML to monitor node performance (using
Sigar API for CPU/memory and NIC)
