A. Activities and findings

During the past quarter, PIs have been working on two issues: (1) network test over a 10Gbps connection between CRON at LSU and ProtoGeni nodes at BBN and Utah and (2) a component manager which the ProtoGeni (Utah group) has proposed.

Activity 1

After PIs checked two individual connections (LONI to Internet 2 and Internet2 to BBN) through ION service during the first quarter 2010, LONI network administrators changed a web interface to reserve a circuit of Internet2. Therefore, PIs have performed several end-to-end tests between a node inside CRON testbed and a node inside BBN) with a new interface, OSCARS (On demand Secure Circuits and Advance Reservation System), to create a circuit of Internet2. And successfully, they created and performed several connection tests between CRON and BBN nodes with OSCARS.

We were able to ping bbn (10.37.28.100) successfully from CRON's machine (ip: 10.37.28.101, mac: 0060.dd46.9e11). But there was a problem with the underlying ION network that was preventing us from building circuits to the Salt Lake PoP from LSU or BBN. This issue has been corrected and now BBN can ping Utah’s machine. We are trying to explore if ION circuits can be created as multipoint instead of point-to-point. In that case we would be able to test that.

The circuit information between LSU to BBN is as follows:

Activity 2

To aggregate resources at CRON testbed and share them with other ProtoGeni testbeds, PIs and other collaborators of other ProtoGENI projects have discussed about the component manager.

In general, there are two prototypes of component manager, Emulab-based installation and standalone reference model). Since CRON testbed is based on the Emulab software package, PIs will use the Emulab-based component manager (refer http://www.protogeni.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/ComponentManagerAPIV2). Inside an Emulab-based component manager proposed by ProtoGeni group (Utah), PIs will support the following APIs:

Resolve

DiscoverResources 

CreateSliver 

DeleteSlice 

GetSliver 

RestartSliver

RenewSlice 

SliverStatus 

Shutdown

GetVersion 

Downloaded Emulab-based component manager (https://users.emulab.net/trac/protogeni/wiki/ProtoGENIInstall) , and created our local ProtoGENI domain (http://cron.cct.lsu.edu). Sent out CRON testbed site key certificate to Utah clearinghouse and got confirmed. Therefore, the CRON component manager could get in touch with Utah clearinghouse. We have not decided to contribute local resources to be registered with Utah clearinghouse. After data switch development finishes on CRON testbed, we will finish the resource registration and start component manager test on communication with Utah clearinghouse.

Since there have been many ongoing discussions on the component manager among other project participants, PIs plan to finish the development of the component manager before next quarter and deploy the component manager before next GEC 9 conference.
