    2727 * We are continuing to support GENI experimenters with OnTimeMeasure. A notable support activity relates to - "Design of Cyber Physical Framework for Assembly of Microdevices" experiment led by the Oklahoma State University, where OnTimeMeasure software was successfully used in the development of a Masters' Thesis of Graduate Student - Raviteja Gunda. A peer-reviewed paper has been accepted for publication in the ASME Congress 2012 Proceedings [[BR]]

     29 * Presented a status update at GEC14 describing our progress and accomplishments relating to performance measurements of GENI backbone and access networks from the context of a Virtual Desktop Cloud experiment featuring non-IP and OpenFlow related traffic. We setup a multi-domain GENI slice with data centers at VMLab @ Ohio State, and ProtoGENI @ University of Utah, and thin-clients at wide-area ProtoGENI nodes at campuses such as Wisconsin, Rutgers, Stanford and Georgia Tech. Our emulation experimentation leverages OpenFlow programmable networking, as well as LAMP/perfSONAR instrumentation and measurement capabilities for validating a resource placement framework under realistic settings. Using empirical results from our slice, we demonstrated the importance of scheduling regulated measurements that can be used for intelligent resource placement decisions. In addition, we showed the feasibility and benefits of using OpenFlow controller applications for path selection and load balancing between thin-client sites and data centers in Virtual Desktop Clouds.

    30 Demonstrate the measurement of performance of GENI backbone and access networks that may be carrying non-IP traffic.
    31 Propose and deliver a plan for evaluating the performance of GENI's backbone and access networks when using OpenFlow (e.g. GENI ""Plastic Slices""). Consider how to monitor the performance of OpenFlow networks and suggest new tools needed for monitoring such networks. Present plan at GEC.
     31 * Presented a live demonstration of !OnTimeMeasure software capabilities, as well as connectivity and performance measurements in GENI backbone and access networks at the GEC14 Networking Reception. [[BR]]

    35  * Presented a status update at GEC14 describing our progress and accomplishments relating to performance measurements of GENI backbone and access networks from the context of a Virtual Desktop Cloud experiment featuring non-IP and OpenFlow related traffic. We setup a multi-domain GENI slice with data centers at VMLab @ Ohio State, and ProtoGENI @ University of Utah, and thin-clients at wide-area ProtoGENI nodes at campuses such as Wisconsin, Rutgers, Stanford and Georgia Tech. Our emulation experimentation leverages OpenFlow programmable networking, as well as LAMP/perfSONAR instrumentation and measurement capabilities for validating a resource placement framework under realistic settings. Using empirical results from our slice, we demonstrated the importance of scheduling regulated measurements that can be used for intelligent resource placement decisions within experiment slices. In addition, we showed the feasibility and benefits of using OpenFlow controller applications for path selection and load balancing between thin-client sites and data centers in Virtual Desktop Clouds.

    37  * Demonstrated the use of LAMP/perfSONAR tools for making measurements in the GENI backbone and access networks, and developed an [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/OnTimeMeasure/lamp_perfsonar_osu-experiments-013112.pdf experiences document] that was discussed with GPO in a teleconference. [[BR]]
    38 
    39  * Developed a written proposal for implementing infrastructure measurement slices in GENI backbone and access networks, and are working with the LAMP project team to show how they may be used for infrastructure measurement. We worked closely with GPO, Internet2 and OARnet Network Engineering to setup an infrastructure measurement slice that spans GENI backbone and access networks in Ohio and Utah. The slice functioning was demonstrated at the GEC13 poster session. Details of the proposal can be found in our [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/FirstGenCalyam/VDC-GENI-Expt-GEC13.pdf GREE12 Paper on OSU Virtual Desktop Cloud Experiment]. [[BR]]
     33 * Interacted closely with GPO teams via teleconference calls in the design and implementation of various Layer2 and Layer3 connectivity and performance measurements in GENI backbone and access networks. [[BR]]
