Abstract

In this chapter we review the network measurement tools and instruments that are in place in the FP7 OpenLab project, which provides a set of different network testbeds. We also focus on the problem of data heterogeneity, which comes from the fact that different measurement tools will provide data in different formats and structured in different ways. Therefore, a common information model becomes necessary and the OpenLab ontology-based solution is presented. Such ontology is being standardized by an Industry Specification Group at ETSI, resulting in the first ever standard on network measurement data ontologies.
