13 | | * Adding new substrate driver capabilities |
14 | | * Restructured and simplified network driver codebase by removing Node Agent code and allowing sites directly invoke handler actions |
15 | | * Made network driver actions more finely granular to allow better policy controls |
16 | | * Improved Eucalyptus handler |
17 | | * Developed new Juniper EX3200 driver |
18 | | * Modified NLR Sherpa driver to match the newly released Sherpa API |
19 | | * !OpenFlow handler capable of creating guest configurations by ORCA |
| 14 | * Adding new substrate and substrate driver capabilities |
| 15 | * Implemented ORCA Eucalyptus handler that includes NEuca (Network Extensions to Eucalyptus) capabilities, developed by RENCI for an NSF SDCI project (see hhttps://geni-orca.renci.org/trac/wiki/NEuca-overview for more details on NEuca). Demonstrated in the plenary demo at GEC9. |
| 16 | * Extended !OpenFlow handler capabilities to use the new XML-RPC interface for creating OF guest configurations by ORCA. Demonstrated at GEC9. |
23 | | * Communicated the details of the XMLRPC actor registry interface to GMOC for integration |
24 | | * Experimentation |
25 | | * Facilitated an experiment for UNC CS faculty by allowing to run traffic from UNC CS lab in loopback first through BEN and then, with assistance from NLR NOC, through BEN and NLR across country |

27 | | We continued working with Cluster-D projects to help them integrate the new features of the Bella 2.0 release done in the previous quarter. This included documenting the new substrate API, best practices documents, network driver development HOWTO and answering direct questions from Cluster-D developers. |
