Instruments can catalyze an entire ?eld. In the hard sciences the right instruments are crucial, and are frequently objects of research in their own right. Closer to home, we've seen the broad impact of the ns simulator, which is used in a high fraction of network research. The bene?ts to the networking community of a common experimental environment have been discussed in the simulationcontext. These include improved protocol validation, a rich infrastructure for developing and testing new protocols, a controlled experimental environment, and easier comparison of experimental results.

Many of these bene?ts are the byproduct of a community-endorsed environment ...
