Wide-area Nodes

Emulab's wide-area effort includes 50+ (and growing) PCs scattered around world at more then 30 sites, connected via commodity internet, internet2, DSL and cable modem. Researchers wishing to run experiments on the "real" internet can request permission to use the wide-area nodes. Similar to experiments using just local Emulab nodes, you can setup network overlays and automated traffic generation. However, certain policies and restrictions are in place, so please review these in case your needs conflict. Emulab's wide-area nodes are comprised of nodes setup by Emulab sites, as well as nodes from the MIT Testbed (also called the RON Cluster). To see what wide-area nodes are available, log into Emulab, and visit the widearea status page.
