Abstract
Recently, research activities on the future internet are being actively performed in foreign and domestic. In domestic, ETRI and 4 universities are focused on implementation of a testbed for research on the future internet named as 'FiRST(Future Internet Research for Sustainable Testbed)'. In the 'FiRST' project, 4 universities are performing a project in collaboration named as 'FiRST@PC' project that is for an implementation of the testbed using the programmable platform-based openflow switches. Currently, the research on the virtualization of the testbed is being performed that has a purpose for supporting an isolated network to individual researcher. In this paper, we implemented a traffic scheduler for providing QoS by using the programmable platform that performs a hardware-based packet processing and we are implemented a testbed using that traffic scheduler. We perform a performance evaluation of the traffic scheduler on the testbed. As a result, we show that the hardware-based NetFPGA scheduler can provide reliable and stable QoS to virtualized networks of the Future Internet Testbed.
