134 | | Layer 2 Connectivity: There is currently no usable layer2 connection to the UMass Amherst lab available for GENI. The project is investigating the possibility of installing local fiber that could enable a connection to NLR through an appropriate regional network. If installed this fiber would support both the [wiki:DOME] and [wiki:ViSE] projects in Spiral 1 and in later stages that include support for mobile nodes. Layer 2 ethernets will not extend to the !DieselNet nodes, due to limitations in the existing deployed systems, but IP tunnels to the layer 2 VLAN termination points should be feasible for connecting mobile endpoints to the GENI virtual ethernets. |
