The integration of real hardware and systems increases the fidelity of a testbed, but limits its scalability. Scaling techniques, such as virtualization and real-time simulation, can increase the scale of experiments conducted on the testbed. Manual mapping of the experimental scenario onto the testbed resources and scaling techniques is intractable for large experiments. We propose a method to automatically map testbed resources according to user-specified requirements. Our mechanism identifies suitable scaling techniques for parts of the input experimental topology and adjusts their resource requirements according to the goal of the experiment. New network features can be easily incorporated to support a wide diversity of network experiments and testbed resources.
