Research Description
Planet Lab is an open, globally distributed platform for developing, deploying and accessing planetary-scale network services. To date, more than 200 research projects at top academic institutions have used PlanetLab to experiment with such diverse topics as distributed storage, network mapping, peer-to-peer systems, distributed hash tables, and distributed query processing. Many of the results from these experiments are now appearing in such internationally prestigious conferences as ACMs SIGCOMM, SOSP and OSDI.
