The Internet is an indispensable part of society today, but many of the details about how well it operates are poorly understood. This project will support and enhance the Seattle community testbed, one of the tools supporting experimentation for measuring and understanding the Internet. The Seattle testbed allows researchers the ability to safely run experiments on real user devices and networks and gives experimenters access to thousands of devices around the world. End users must decide to 'opt-in' by installing the Seattle software on their tablet, smartphone, or other computing device to participate in Seattle. Via enhancements to the Seattle platform, the project will improve the ability of researchers to understand smartphone and future network environments as they exist in the Internet today, so that they may improve the Internet and design better networks in the future.This project will support the continued growth and development of the Seattle Testbed. The programming APIs of the Seattle sandbox will be enhanced to add support for IPv6, reading device sensors, and multi-homing. It will also improve support for NAT traversal, mobility, and similar code on the platform. Several scalability and stability issues with the platform will be addressed, including automated build testing and similar practices. The project will also more explicitly expose the community-driven development model at the project's core to make it easier for outside groups to participate in Seattle development and to also address the long-term sustainability of the Seattle code-base.

互联网是当今社会不可或缺的一部分，但是有关其运作效果的许多细节知之甚少。 该项目将支持和增强西雅图社区测试床，这是支持衡量和理解互联网的实验的工具之一。 西雅图测试床可以使研究人员能够安全地在真实的用户设备和网络上进行实验，并使实验者访问世界各地的数千个设备。 最终用户必须决定通过在平板电脑，智能手机或其他计算设备上安装西雅图软件来“选择”。 通过增强西雅图平台，该项目将提高研究人员在当今互联网中存在的智能手机和未来网络环境的能力，以便它们可以改善互联网并在未来设计更好的网络。该项目将支持西雅图测试床的持续增长和开发。 西雅图沙箱的编程API将得到增强，以增加对IPv6，读取设备传感器和多态的支持。 它还将改善平台上对NAT遍历，移动性和类似代码的支持。 该平台将解决一些可扩展性和稳定性问题，包括自动化构建测试和类似实践。 该项目还将更加明确地以该项目的核心揭示社区驱动的发展模式，以使外部团体更容易参与西雅图开发，并解决西雅图代码库的长期可持续性。
