The UMOBILE researchers can login and access the lab XXXX via VPN^ E CHE FANNO? prego spiegarlo.
XXXX An option is to open the lab to foreign (non-UMOBILE) researchers, stating which is the the expected appropriate usage of the lab in a guideline or a policy statement or a similar document.
At the moment the UMOBILE Lab is mainly constituted of some Raspb PI, marked as SEG in the figure "UMOBILE testbed..."; the Mikrotik devices are just used as (IP) routing infrastructure. Each SEG runs the UMOBILE software image and is NDN-connected to other SEGs, through NDN tunnels. The NDN tunnels lay over the IP layer; it is not considered an interesting option to modify the IP routing layer, in order to get modifications of the NDN layer. Instead it is possible to change the NDN topology changing the NDN routes/tunnels; the figure below represents the idea.

There is an NDN node in the lab (the first node) that is exposed over the internet with a public IP address. This node could be connected to the Named Data Networking Testbed, that already reaches the AFA Systems plant. Consequently every node of the UMOBILE Lab could be reached from any other node of the NDN testbed; COPELABS is connected to to the NDN testbed, too: we expect it is possible to exchange (UMOBILE) messages between devices/apps at COPELABS Research Center with devices/apps at UMOBILE Lab.
A useful and appealing lab should have clear dashboards and easy-to-configure parameters. As Paulo suggested some days ago, a good example of an on-line lab is the FIT IoT-Lab.
Changing the parameters should change the configuration of the lab (e.g. the topology of the NDN links) in order to run different experiments. A comfortable GUI should allow to set the parameters, as well to load n-uples of parameters with just one command.
The dashboards should allow to browse the data structure of the different nodes; e.g. the FIB. Any significant data structures should be displayed.
The results should be collected and measured through specific dashboards.
For each device and UMOBILE software image there would be hooks (i.e. API) to set parameters and access the significant data structures.

Quali sono gli entry-point nei SEG per parlare con i device NDN mobili (es. l'app di Paulo)
Come fa l'applicazione di Paulo a parlare con il lab?
Ha senso modificare i tunnel NDN?
E' utile provare il protocollo di routing (standard) NDN? come si fa? c'e' una versione UM?
