The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan manages a large-scale network experiment testbed called StarBED, that is located at the Hokuriku Research Center, in Ishikawa prefecture. StarBED counts more than 1000 PCs that have been used over the years for various network experiments and research. We shall present the infrastructure and experiment-support software of StarBED, as well as some of the research projects that were carried out on StarBED. We shall also propose several scenarios that show how StarBED could be useful for CERN-related activities, such as testing LHC software in a controlled environment before deployment in the production network.
