Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX) Demo at GEC#15

[Tom Lehman]

1. Brief demo description (A few sentences suitable for a GEC15 attendee information page.

See ​http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC9DemoSummary for examples.)

In this demonstration we will show multi-aggregate stitching between the MAX, ION, CRON, and ProtoGENI Aggregates. Use of the MAX and ION Aggregate Managers which are now compatible with the GENIv3 RSpec formats will be demonstrated. This functionality will be described in the context of the larger multi-aggregate stitching architecture vision consisting of a GENI Topology Service, Computation Service, GENI AM APIv3, and multi-aggregate slice instantiation workflows. A description of what capabilities are available now and a roadmap for future development will be presented. We may also demonstrate an initial version of a GENI Topology Service in collaboration with the GENI GEMINI project.

2. List of equipment that will need AC connections (e.g. laptop, switch hardware prototype, monitor). (Just put in the number of connections needed if your demo description already lists the equipment)

four laptops One projector

3. Number of wired network connections (include required bandwidth if significant)

Two wired connections.

4. Number of wireless network connections (include required bandwidth if significant)

Two wireless connections.

5. Number of static addresses needed (if any)

none

6. Projector (y/n) (Bring your own projectors if feasible)

Projector - yes Screen - yes

7. Monitor (y/n, specify VGA or DVI) (Specify resolution only if your software has resolution restrictions)

no

8. Number of posters (max size poster boards are 30" x 40")

one

Thank you for your demo request. We will update this ticket when the resources have been confirmed.

Please be aware that we are not providing projectors or projector screens. Most people have switched to using TVs instead of projectors. Should one 32" LCD screen be enough?

[Tom Lehman]

Not sure if I answered the above question. Yes, one 32" LCD is enough.

Modifying demo description to reflect the status of the Aggregates:

In this demonstration we will show multi-aggregate stitching between the MAX, ION, CRON, and ProtoGENI Aggregates. Use of the MAX and ION Aggregate Managers which are now compatible with the GENIv3 RSpec formats will be demonstrated. This functionality will be described in the context of the larger multi-aggregate stitching architecture vision consisting of a GENI Topology Service, Computation Service, GENI AM APIv3, and multi-aggregate slice instantiation workflows. A description of what capabilities are available now and a roadmap for future development will be presented. We may also demonstrate an initial version of a GENI Topology Service in collaboration with the GENI GEMINI project.

The MAX Aggregate is not yet an official Aggregate but the plan to have it added to the list (​http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GeniAggregate), soon after GEC 15. The ION Aggregate Manager is a prototype system being used to demonstrate how a GENI AM can be used to "cover" a Dynamic Circuit Network like Internet2 ION. The CRON Aggregate is also not an official GENI Aggregate at this time.
