Abstract: FABRIC project is an NSF Midscale research and education infrastructure that enables experimentation, rapid prototyping, and validation of new network and distributed computing methods and applications that are impossible or impracticable with commonly available research infrastructures.

This tutorial will introduce attendees to the FABRIC testbed, sign them up with an account, and walk them through a hands-on experience with introductory and intermediate example experiments. Example topics will include: 1) Creating and deploying basic experiments, 2) Using wide-area networks, and 3) Using FABRIC's integrated measurement framework.

Authors: Paul Ruth, James Griffioen, and Kuangchiang Wang
