| 53 | As a result of this feedback and discussions, the following Stitching and SCS task areas are identified in the “Stitching and SCS Near Term Focus Areas” section of the above document. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | * Work with Internet2 to complete implementation and testing of point-to-point stitching paths across AL2S using their Aggregate Manager (FOAM/OESS based). |
| 56 | * Work with Internet to design, implement, and test multi-point stitching across AL2S using their Aggregate Manager (FOAM/OESS based). |
| 57 | * Further evaluate concepts, designs, and possible benefits for a Stitching Service and/or Stitching Exchange Points |
| 58 | * Review status of ProtoGENI support for VLAN negotiation via AM APIv3 and help with testing of that feature as it becomes available |
| 59 | * Evaluate overall SCS and Stitching design and proposes features to increase level of monitoring, automation, and general ease of use and configuration. |
| 60 | * Develop designs, and implementations where possible, to enable user and user tools to determine what options are available for inter-aggregate connections. This should include options based on GRE, eGRE, VLAN based Stitching, and the Virtual Topology Service (VTS). |
