Experiments should not use the interface names as identifier #2

Closed relet closed 8 years ago

relet commented 8 years ago

As we discussed prior to and during the demo, interface names are a poor identifier for the connection used.

My suggestion would be to use the InterfaceId that is provided by metadata (which maps to the IMEI for modems, MAC for wifi and fixed links), and to also include the operator MCC/MNC in all results.

This issue affects all current experiments, and has to be matched on the database side.

Just to clarify:

I guess by " interface names are a poor identifier" you mean on the database side, ie when we store the experiment result. For setting up and starting the experiment/container interface name is still preferred I guess.

Yes, I agree. I only meant the reporting of results.
