Patchwork

Patchwork is a tool for profiling the network's dataplane on the FABRIC testbed. Patchwork can be used by individual FABRIC users on their experiments, and can also be used to generate a testbed-wide profile of network traffic. The testbed-wide profile is used to carry out a large-scale analysis of network experiments on FABRIC.

Initial paper

February 2024: Our CNERT'24 paper describes Patchwork's initial design and an early study of FABRIC's network profile. Since that paper, the design has evolved considerably to address several of the limitations that are mentioned in that paper.
