Roadmap

Work with other GENI projects providing security services to GENI. The security services will be integrated into the GMOC framework as they become available. Ongoing work in months 1-6.

Produce a reference design showing how a planned Spiral 1 project(s) opt‐in can be implemented with Spiral 1 end‐to‐end connections. Demonstrate how the design meets opt‐in requirements from the initial requirements document. Submit results to Opt-in, Control Framework, and OMIS working groups.

Provide a survey of research and education experiments of interest to 4 year colleges, and the substrate resources required to enable them.

Present the opt-in prototype to the local Computer Science communities to encourage them to explore its capabilities. Solicit some real networking experiments from the community to gain real field experience with these opt-in techniques. (Work is ongoing from month 9-12).

Focus on spiral-1 substrate technologies and identify which experiments from the survey could be supported on spiral-1

Since there is not significant field experience with wholesale opt-in already available, develop a local opt-in prototype that permits local researchers to interpose experimental networking equipment in the path to the public Internet. Make the scripts and configurations available to interested GENI participants via download.

Begin integrating existing University of Kentucky tools in the prototype testbed. Produce a document describing the architecture/design of the instrumentation toolset along with a description of some of the proposed tools. (Ongoing in months 10-12.)

Describe the network connections between specific external test equipment identified/recommended above and spiral-1 substrate components.

Deploy component and clearinghouse packages v0.2 in GENI testbed, and assist other groups and projects to *complete* integration with the following:

  • federation with other PlanetLab-related testbeds;
  • PlanetLab programmable host clusters;
  • VINI network;
  • specialized network nodes, paired with VINI PoPs;
  • enterprise access networks;
  • other enterprise elements, including host clusters, network nodes
  • and wireless access nodes;
  • researcher helper tools;
  • researcher helper tools;
  • extended programmable host nodes;
  • aggregate of optical networks, including connections to Internet2;
  • regional optical network, with programmable optical nodes;
  • overlay hosting network nodes;

Participate in NSF TRUST Science and Technology (S&T) Center's Summer, 2009 Teacher Education program to familiarize TRUST's pool of undergraduate and underrepresented community institution faculty with educational use and potential of TIED/GENI facilities. (Exact timing depends on dates of program, but should be completed by September 1, 2009.)

Deploy the Aggregate Manager in the Kentucky GENI prototype, and support limited operations to allow experimental use of the testbed through the ProtoGENI clearinghouse. (This work in ongoing in months 11 and 12.)

Software release. Make BGP mux and tunnel software available for download by other GENI prototype projects.

  • This will be a bare-bones release: A user at ProtoGENI will be able to specify tunnels and BGP sessions through the management interface
  • This will produce an RSpec that our scripts can read and:

o Produce tunnels on ProtoGENI nodes

o Produce BGP sessions between the BGP mux and protoGENI clients

This due date of this milestone was changed from 6/1/09 to 9/30/09. See Ticket #183 for details.

Help develop GENI Concept of Operations. Coordinate with GENI projects and the OMIS working group to develop a draft GENI Concept of Operations framework. Work ongoing in months 1-12.

The initial GMOC framework implementation will include an Operational Dataset translator. This will be software used to convert data in existing formats from existing projects that would be of operational interest into the GMOC Native Operational Data Format. Work ongoing in months 6-12.

Exact timing of GEC demonstration depends on particulars of GEC schedules.

The initial GMOC framework implementation will include a Data Exchanger. This is the software implementation and protocol used to receive and transmit operational datasets among GMOC partner projects and with the GMOC. Work ongoing in months 6-12.

The working prototype GMOC is a documented suite of systems and processes working to share operational data among all the partner projects. Work ongoing in months 6-12.

Actively provide “emergency stop” functionality to participating projects to isolate or turn down disruptive experiments, and actively notify partner projects of operational issues, as they want

Develop a demonstration based on the reference Spiral 1 prototype design, and present the demonstration at a GENI Engineering Conference. Make demonstration scripts and configurations available to interested GENI participants via download. (Exact timing of demonstration will depend on GEC schedules.)

Demonstrate extended clearinghouse/component functionalities key to outreach communities (e.g., extended security model access).

Demonstrate and support running federated experiments by owner(s) outside the development team by the end of year 1.

Continue to integrate campus networks with GENI so that GENI users can request and use campus OpenFlow networks for research. This goal requires ON.Lab to further develop, integrate and support an Aggregate Manager that continues to support the GENI AM API and enables integrated experiments with other mesoscale aggregates (e.g. ProtoGENI and PlanetLab)

Continue to address known bugs and requested GENI features for ON.Lab supported software in GENI campus deployments. This includes software provided by Stanford, UC Berkeley, and ON.Lab subcontractors. As of 09/2011, this list includes FlowVisor, NOX and any other Stanford-recommended controllers, Indigo, FOAM, Expedient, Opt-In Manager and OpenVSwitch

Operate a campus GENI aggregate that includes both OpenFlow and compute resources that are available to researchers via the GENI AM API control framework and connected to other GENI aggregates at layer2. Support GENI experiments using this aggregate.
