Abstract
Emulab software was developed by the team of University of Utah and it has been replicated at dozens of other sites in the world. Although KREONET Emulab, which established by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, has only a modest number of compute nodes it has been provided an ideal playground to conduct various research for network protocols, cyber security and convergence research. A testbed is a critical enabler of experimental research and researchers only carry out the experiments that are supported by the testbed. This paper outlines the Utah Emulab's status and use types among the last 10 years of operation results and compares them with the ones with the KREONET Emulab. In addition, Testbed-as-a-Service(TaaS) is discussed to upgrade the testbed for the convergence research community services.
