Cluster D call on Thursday, January 21, 2010 Attendees: Ilia Baldine [[BR]] Andy Li [[BR]] Brian Lynn [[BR]] David Irwin [[BR]] Emmanuel Cecchet [[BR]] Deniz Gurkan [[BR]] Harry Mussman [[BR]] Hongwei Zhang [[BR]] Xi Lu [[BR]] Keren Bergman [[BR]] Joe Mambretti [[BR]] Praveen [[BR]] yyuy [[BR]] Agenda: 1) Upcoming software release Ilia: + On track to do committed features [[BR]] - Except for Shibboleth [[BR]] + Made plugins less VM independent. [[BR]] + New API to build better policies for substrates, particularly beyond VMs [[BR]] + Local (actor) regsitry to see available actors. [[BR]] + Easy lease cancellation [[BR]] Hongwei: Broker interaction features? e.g., delegate? [[BR]] Jeff: Not committed. (not included in roadmap) [[BR]] 1b) Clearinghouse issues Need to resend password [[BR]] Can restart clearinghouse [[BR]] Can we reset individul actors (brokers)? No now; can this be added? Probably no need to update clearinghouse code, since latest changes do not affect brokers When there are issues, enter a ticket 2) GEC7 demos Note: Projects should correct and expand this list. LEARN: Use RENCI/BEN's Infinera DTNs for the demonstration of the measurement handler software together with IMF project. Remote connect to local ORCA; by GEC8, control LEARN KanseiGenie: Instrument Kansei. For regression analysis of wireless link properties, demonstrate the use of the two testbeds Kansei and NetEye through a unified user interface. ViSE: VLAN connections from sensors, through NLR, to RENCI or EC2. DOME: Management interface, 900-MHz radios,... IMF: Gather data from BEN, distribute with Pub-Sub system ORCA/BEN: Connect multiple sites via NLR, e.g., demo floor to ? iGENI: Provisioning two 10Gbps links, Starlight via NLR to RENCI. Dynamic provisioning of the paths. Novel high-performance protocols. iGENI: Towards extended Cluster D connectivity. [[BR]] Direct fiber from Starlight to Ohio State, and other sites. [[BR]] Will be using QinQ to mitigate numbering issues. 3) NDL workshop Ilia: ORCA/BEN first to use ontological approach to provisioning, not just network planning. [[BR]] Richness of existing tools is an advantage. NDL workshop after GEC7, 3/18pm. Explain apporach, advantages. Use cases. [[BR]] To prepare, short webex in early Feb. All are welcome. Ilia will send doodle, invite. 4) Issues, problems, concerns Joe: Useful to have periodic Cluster D calls, e.g., every two weeks. [[BR]] Ilia: Will plan for every two weeks, perhaps this time on Thursday, send doodle and invite. [[BR]] Deniz: Instantiating ORCA in lab, and write 3750 drivers. Starting with 6509 drivers. Any other resources? [[BR]] Ilia: There is a template driver, but 6509 driver is perhaps the closest. [[BR]] Jeff: Drivers close to handler. If switch presents a reasonable interface, then do not need a driver. [[BR]] Harry: How does this work? What functions where? [[BR]] Ilia: Will send some info. [[BR]] Jeff: High level abstraction is in the handler. [[BR]] Harry: Interested 3750, NEC switches here. 5) Interactions between projects and GPO Harry: PIs and delegates should input more directly to wiki; will send instructions. [[BR]] Harry: Will put early agenda for Cluster D meetings on wiki.
