From ViSE 2Q09 QSR on 6/30/09:

We had multiple phone meetings between the GENI project office and Rick Tuthill of UMass-Amherst OIT. As a result of these conversations, we believe it is possible to get a VLAN connection from geni.cs.umass.edu to an Internet2 backbone site in Boston by October 1st, 2009. This VLAN connection would be used by both DOME and ViSE. We are currently working through this process. Ilia Baldine of the Orca project also introduced us to John Volbrecht of Internet2. John is interested in having a demo of ORCA using I2 as a transit provider (using I2’s DCN capability). We will be coordinating with John as we bring our Internet2 connection online.

Per Year 1 final report:

Milestone 1g: Contingent ... provide a VLAN connection Completed. Though we did not have specific funding for a VLAN connection, we have accomplished the following:

• The UMass DOME and ViSE projects have collectively worked with the UMass

Office of Information Technology (OIT). We have agreed to a high-level plan to get an Internet2 VLAN to our server in the Computer Science department.

• We have an MOU with OIT for the installation of an Internet2/VLAN.
• OIT is actively working on the details to connect our server to Internet2.
• We have worked with the GPO to define specific Inernet2/VLAN deliverables

for Year 2.
