The MIT RON testbed consists of 36 Internet-connected nodes
at 31 different sites.
It has been in operation for two years. This paper presents
an overview of the testbed, summarizes some of the research for
which it has proved useful, and presents the lessons we learned
during its development. The testbed has been useful
both for our own research and for that of external researchers
because of
its heterogeneous, diverse network connections; its homogenous hardware and
software platform; its incremental, bottom-up development; and
its easy configuration and management tools.
