IREEL: remote experimentation with real protocols and applications over emulated network

: This paper presents a novel e­learning platform  called   IREEL.   IREEL   is   a   virtual   laboratory   allowing  students to drive experiments with real Internet applications  and   end­to­end   protocols   in   the   context   of   networking  courses.   This   platform   consists   in   a   remote   network  emulator   offering   a   set  of   pre­defined   applications   and  protocol mechanisms. Experimenters configure and control  the emulation and the end­systems behavior in order to  perform tests, measurements and observations on protocols  or   applications   operating   under   controlled   specific  networking conditions. A set of end­to­end mechanisms,  mainly   focusing   on   transport   and   application­level  protocols, are currently available. IREEL is scalable and  easy   to   use   thanks   to   an   ergonomic   web   interface.
