Welcome!

The FITS (Future Internet Testbed with Security) project describes a successful experience as an inter-university network testing, which was launched in 2011. It provides an opportunity to increase cooperation among those universities aiming at managing and configuring virtual networks. Using a hybrid system based in Xen and OpenFlow, FITS provides network management tools for the administrator. Testbed brings together the most renowned universities.

Virtual network management is a challenge due to the number of monitoring variables and to the difficult in autonomously configuring network parameters. FITS provides a remote management interface for OpenFlow and Xen networks, which makes it easy to control. The tool is based on a service-oriented architecture and dynamically allows monitoring and configuring the network. All these functionalities are available in a web interface. The proposed tool presents low response time to the actions requested by the administrator.
