-Fig 1-2a)  System Configuration with Three Servers  [[BR]]
+A full WiMAX testbed system configuration utilizes three servers, per Figure 1-2a): [[BR]]
+ ASNGW-C, that provides combined ASN GW functions, and includes a CLICK router. [[BR]]
+ ASNGW-V, that provides virtualized ASN GW functions, for separate slices, with one VM assigned to each slice. [[BR]]
+ OMF, that provides a full set of OMF/OML functions. [[BR]]
+ 
+All servers run ubuntu Linux, and the ASNGW-V server implements kvm virtualization.  [[BR]]

-Figure 1-2a) shows the system configuration with three servers: [[BR]]
- ASNGW-03, that provides combined ASN GW functions. [[BR]]
- ASNGW-02, that provides virtualized ASN GW functions, for separate slices. [[BR]]
- OMF-04, that provides a set of OMF/OML functions. [[BR]]
-
-In some cases, a campus already has a set of OMF/OML functions, and would likely not require the OMF-04 server:[[BR]]
+In some cases, it should be possible to combine the ASNGW functions into one server, for a WiMAX testbed system configuration that utilizes two servers, per Figure 1-2b).  [[BR]]
+ ASNGW, that provides all ASN GW functions
+ OMF, that provides a full set of OMF/OML functions. [[BR]]
+ 
+Both servers run ubuntu Linux, and the ASNGW server implements kvm virtualization, with the combined ASN GW functions (non-virtualized) running in Dom0.  [[BR]]

+In some cases, a campus already has a set of OMF/OML functions, and would likely not require the OMF server:[[BR]]

  Rutgers, Bush Campus[[BR]]
  Polytechnic Institute of NYU[[BR]]
  
-In many cases, it should be possible to combine the ASNGW functions into one server, for a total of two servers;  see Figure 1-2b.  [[BR]]

+Finally, in many cases, it should be possible to combine all funtions within one server, for a WiMAX testbed system configuration that utilizes one server, per Figure 1-2c).  [[BR]]
+ ASNGW_OMF that provides all ASN GW and OMF/OML functions. [[BR]]
+ 
+This server runs ubuntu Linux, and implements kvm virtualization, with the combined ASN GW (non-virtualized) and OMF/OML functions running in Dom0. Note that this server must have a total of four ethernet ports to provide all of the requirted conenctivity. [[BR]]
+
+When this configuration uses a high-capacity (i.e., dual-CPU) server, it should have sufficient capacity for most installations.  Thus, it is the configuration that will be used for the initila installations at all campuses/sites.  [[BR]]
+
+Later, additonal servers can be added as necessary for capacity.  For example, if specialized functions such as video coding were included in a slice's VM, then additional capacity may be required.[[BR]]
