Abstract :
There are many open issues in the field of network management. System data and/or operational experience can provide insight into these issues. Researchers often do not have access to such data or practical experience. To overcome this, we propose using the Access Grid as a testbed for network management research. The Access Grid is a multimedia collaboration environment that utilizes many different network technologies. We are using the Access Grid to collect data, gain operational experience and evaluate new management techniques.
