 == Milestones achieved ==
 
+__S4.a Complete on-campus experimental and production deployment plans for Spiral 4__: The on-campus and production deployment plans are complete. A summary of the [Attachment:spiral4_deploy plan.pdf, deployment plan] is posted on this wiki.
 
+Most of the deployment has already been deployed including:
+ * Production switches in multiple buildings deployed using a commercial controller (BigSwitch)
+ * Experimental testbed with Planetlab, ProtoGENI and GpENI connection
+ * Production deployment of the [http://flowscale.openflowhub.com, FlowScale] load balancer system deployed to serve the IU IDS system
+ * Experiment testbed constructed to host Layer 3 experimentation using RouteFlow
+ 
+Steps that still need to take before the end of Spiral 4:
+ * Additional switches in the testlab available through GENI
+ * Additional FlowScale deployment to cover the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis 
+ * Tools to help in the troubleshooting of OpenFlow networks and contollers
 
 == Deliverables made ==
 
+__FlowScale__  The FlowScale loadbalancer has been deployed in production and released to the public under an Apache 2.0 licence. FlowScale replicates the functionality in load balancing​ appliances but using a Top of Rack (ToR) switch to distribute traffic. Using software to handle the control plane specification but switch hardware to do the forwarding gives both great flexibility and allows for low cost, high throughput deployments. It also allows innovation in the selection and routing of traffic and a building block service that can be integrated with other systems.

+Details on the goals, design, support and links to the source code are located at http://flowscale.openflowhub.org/
