Milestone MAX: S2.a NetFPGA Integration into DRAGON

Complete the placement and configuration of the NetFPGA systems into the DRAGON network. This will include configuration and integration to allow use of the NetFPGA systems as end-systems connected to DRAGON provisioned network paths. This will not include integration into the general GENI slice/sliver provisioning system.

Status: The MAX GENI Substrate includes two high-end machines with NetFPGA (www.netfpga.org) cards. One machine is located at the University of Maryland lab at College Park campus, the other is at the USC/ISI East Facility in Arlington, Virginia. These host machines have Quad 3.0 GHZ Dual Core processors, 4 port Gigabit Ethernet NIC cards, and NetFPGA cards with another 4 Ethernet ports. They are now connected into the MAX GENI Substrate DRAGON Network components and are available for use and experimentation.
