Test Plan Steps

1. As Experimenter1, request ListResources from BBN ExoGENI, RENCI ExoGENI, and FOAM at NLR Site. (The NLR "site" is actually the FOAM for the NLR core meso-scale OpenFlow network, not an actual physical site.)
2. Review ListResources output from all AMs.
3. Define a request RSpec for a VM at the BBN ExoGENI.
4. Define a request RSpec for a VM at the RENCI ExoGENI.
5. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow resources from BBN FOAM to access GENI OpenFlow core resources.
6. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow core resources at NLR FOAM.
7. Create the first slice.
8. Create a sliver in the first slice at each AM, using the RSpecs defined above.
9. Log in to each of the systems, verify IP address assignment. Send traffic to the other system, leave traffic running.
10. As Experimenter2, define a request RSpec for one VM and one bare metal node at BBN ExoGENI.
11. Define a request RSpec for two VMs on the same worker node at RENCI ExoGENI.
12. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow resources from GPO FOAM to access GENI OpenFlow core resources.
13. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow core resources at NLR FOAM.
14. Create a second slice.
15. Create a sliver in the second slice at each AM, using the RSpecs defined above.
16. Log in to each of the systems in the slice, and send traffic to each other systems; leave traffic running
17. As Experimenter3, request ListResources from BBN ExoGENI, GPO FOAM, and FOAM at Meso-scale Site (NLR Site GPO and Internet2 site TBD).
18. Review ListResources output from all AMs.
19. Define a request RSpec for a VM at the BBN ExoGENI.
20. Define a request RSpec for a compute resource at the GPO Meso-scale site.
21. Define a request RSpec for a compute resource at a Meso-scale site.
22. Define request RSpecs for OpenFlow resources to allow connection from OF BBN ExoGENI to Meso-scale OF sites(GPO and second site TBD) (NLR and I2).
23. Create a third slice.
24. Create a sliver that connects the Internet2 Meso-scale OpenFlow site to the BBN ExoGENI Site, and the GPO Meso-scale site.
25. Log in to each of the compute resources in the slice, configure data plane network interfaces on any non-ExoGENI resources as necessary, and send traffic to each other systems; leave traffic running.
26. Verify that all three experiments continue to run without impacting each other's traffic, and that data is exchanged over the path along which data is supposed to flow.
27. Review baseline, GMOC, and monitoring statistics.
28. As site administrator, identify all controllers that the BBN ExoGENI OpenFlow switch is connected to
29. As Experimenter3, verify that traffic only flows on the network resources assigned to slivers as specified by the controller.
30. Verify that no default controller, switch fail-open behavior, or other resource other than experimenters' controllers, can control how traffic flows on network resources assigned to experimenters' slivers.
31. Set the hard and soft timeout of flowtable entries
32. Get switch statistics and flowtable entries for slivers from the OpenFlow switch.
33. Get layer 2 topology information about slivers in each slice.
34. Install flows that match on layer 2 fields and/or layer 3 fields.
35. Run test for at least 4 hours.
36. Review monitoring statistics and checks as above.
37. Stop traffic and delete slivers.
