This paper describes the FIBRE testbed, a large-scale research facility for experimentation on Future Internet. The current testbed is a federation of 13 local testbeds (aka experimental islands), located in different R&E organizations. The FIBRE infrastructure combines heterogeneous physical resources and different technologies, including OpenFlow, wireless and optical communications. This paper discusses the architecture of FIBRE, which includes different Control Management Frameworks, and describes how the testbed can be used in research and education to experiment with networking and distributed systems.
