Research communities deploy small-scale and cost-efficient testbeds in order to evaluate network slicing functionalities. We introduce a novel testbed, called 5GIIK, that provides implementation, management, and orchestration of network slices across all network domains and different access technologies. Our methodology identifies design criteria that are a superset of the features present in other state-of-the-art testbeds and determines appropriate open-source tools for implementing them. 5GIIK is one of the most comprehensive testbeds because it provides additional features and capabilities such as slice provision dynamicity, real-time monitoring of VMs, and VNF-onboarding to different VIMs. We illustrate the potentials of the proposed testbed and present initial results.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.10455v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.10455v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-cloud-based-sdn-nfv-testbed-for-end-to-end","repo_url":"https://github.com/aes5001/5GIIK-testbed","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
