19 | 19 | * '''Configuration of resource approval.''' The rack software stack includes GENI aggregate managers that grant experimenters access to the rack's resources, including the dataplane switch. In general, requests from experimenters for rack resources are automatically granted (if resources are available), but the rack's !OpenFlow aggregate manager (FOAM) can be configured to hold experimenter requests by default, and only approve them if an admin manually authorizes the request. This makes the !OpenFlow resources on the rack much harder for experimenters to use, but it is an available configuration if a site admin deems it necessary. This isn't an option for the non-!OpenFlow resources in the rack, so the scope of this approach is also fairly limited. |
