Despliegue de infraestructura en RINA

En el año 2018, se lanzó el proyecto Experimenting with Real Application-specific QoS Guarantees in a Large-scale RINA Demonstrator, que para simplificar, se llamó ERASER. Este proyecto nace de la creciente investigación nacida sobre RINA (Recursive InterNetwork Architecture) durante los últimos años. Se ha visto que varios investigadores se han visto interesados en las posibilidades que nos ofrece este nuevo paradigma de arquitectura de red, siendo uno de los posibles reemplazos al modelo tradicional TCP/IP, modelo que lleva reinando sobre Internet por los últimos cincuenta años. El objetivo de este proyecto era realizar un estudio sobre la arquitectura de RINA y sobre la herramienta que, pienso, mejor implementada está para poder desplegar una simulación de RINA: IRATI (Investigating RINA as an Alternative to TCP/IP). Una vez realizado este estudio, nuestro objetivo principal era replicar el proyecto ERASER hecho en remoto en los servidores de Fed4Fire, pero esta vez hacer una replica en un escenario virtual (mediante VirtualBox), para posteriormente poder realizar las pruebas en un escenario real en servidores comprados para su utilización en el CBA. Durante el desarrollo de este proyecto descubrí distintas cosas que podrán ayudar a acabar el desarrollo del proyecto, ya que debido a diversos obstáculos, el mismo no pudo llegar a finalizarse en su totalidad. Sin embargo, pienso que las notas que he dejado y la simulación hecha tanto virtual como física será una base importante para que se pueda llegar a finalizar este proyecto en su escenario más complejo. Como resultado hemos comprobado que, efectivamente, se puede realizar un despliegue de RINA en servidores físicos sin necesidad de tener que realizar una simulación mediante máquinas virtuales. Realizando todos los experimentos en máquinas reales, siendo estas mismas los servidores localizados en el CBA.In 2018, the Experimenting with Real Application-specific QoS Guarantees in a Large-scale RINA Demonstrator project was released, which for simplicity was called ERASER. This project was born from the growing research about RINA (Recursive InterNetwork Architecture) during the last years. It has been seen that several researchers have been interested in the possibilities offered by this new network architecture paradigm, being one of the possible replacements for the traditional TCP/IP model, a model that has reigned over the Internet for the last fifty years. The objective of this project was to carry out a study on the architecture of RINA and on the tool that, I think, is the best implementation to this day to be able to deploy a simulation of RINA: IRATI (Investigating RINA as an Alternative to TCP/IP). When this study was over, our main objective was to replicate the ERASER project which was done remotely on the Fed4Fire servers, but this time we wanted to replicate it in a virtual scenario (using VirtualBox), in order to be able to carry out the tests in a real scenario on servers purchased to be used in the CBA. During the development of this project I discovered different things that could help to finish the development of the project, since due to obstacles, it could not be completed in its entirety. However, I think that the notes that I have left and the simulation made both virtual and physical will be an important basis for this project to be completed in its most complex scenario. As a result, we have verified that, effectively, a RINA deployment can be carried out on physical servers without the need to carry out a simulation using virtual machines. Carrying out all the experiments on real machines, these being the servers located in the CBA
