Digital Object Registry (DIGOBREG)

Demo participants: Larry Lannom, Giridhar Manepalli, Jim French
Affiliation: Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI)

Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) will be demonstrating the functionality of the proposed Measurement Data Archive, which is implemented using the Digital Object Architecture.

The Measurement Data Archive prototype system consists of two components: 1) User Workspace and 2) Object Archive. The User Workspace component is an entry point for users (e.g., experimenters, instrumentation researchers, etc.) to store and transfer measurement data, which could be in a variety of forms (e.g., formatted datasets, raw files, etc.). Data and metadata files managed in the user workspace can be archived for long-term storage in an Object Archive. Once data is archived, a persistent and unique identifier is created.

EXPERIMENTS: Clemson (Brooks)

Demo participants: Juan Deng, Ilker Oczelik, Richard Brooks
Affiliation: Clemson University

WiMAX is an evolving standard. Through simulations, we have shown that WiMAX system throughput is very sensitive to settings of two bandwidth contention parameters. ANOVA analysis of simulated DDoS attacks find that settings on those two parameters account for over 80% of the variance in system throughput. We are using the Rutgers' ORBIT testbed to verify if this correlation holds when physical radios are used. This work also serves to test the fidelity of the ns-2 simulation for wireless systems. We will first show and explain our existing results, we will also show our work to date in replicating these results with hardware-in-the-loop. We will have posters, slide presentation, and attempt to give an interactive demonstration on using the Rutgers WiMAX testbed.

iGENI: A Distributed Network Research Infrastructure for the Global Environment for Network Innovation

Demo participants: Joe Mambretti, Maxine Brown, Thomas A. DeFanti
Affiliation: Northwestern University, International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR), University of Illinois at Chicago, Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL), California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2)

The iGENI dynamic network provisioning demonstrations showcase capabilities for large scale (national and international) multiple domain dynamic provisioning, including L1/L2 path involving multiple sites, using specialized signaling and implementation techniques. Several iGENI demonstrations will showcase this dynamic provisioning. Highly Scalable Network Research TransCloud: This multi-organization TransCloud demonstration showcases a capability for using dynamic large scale (cross continent) cloud and network infrastructure for highly distributed specialized capabilities among multiple sites connected by the iGENI network, including specialized search and digital media transcoding and streaming to multiple edge platforms, supported by scaleable cloud computing and network provisioning.

GENI IMF: Integrated Measurement Framework and Tools for Cross Layer Experimentation

Demo participants: Rudra Dutta, George Rouskas, Ilia Baldine, Keren Bergman
Affiliation: NCSU, CS Dept, Columbia University, EE Dept, Renaissance Computing Insititute (RENCI), Chapel Hill, NC, BEN: Breakable Experimental Network, New Internet Computing Lab (NICL), Open Resource Control Architecture (ORCA)

The IMF project overall goal is to enable (a) measurements from a physical substrate, such as an optical substrate, to be passed to a measurement consumer inside a slice; this is a valuable capability since the optical substrate characteristics may be important to the experimenter in the slice although the substrate itself is not directly observable by the experimenter, and (b) enable the automated (in-stack) consumption of measurement data; this is important for an experimenter who does not merely want to see the optical substrate measurement data after the experiment, but would like to experiment with reactive protocols designed to run inside the stack and react in real-time to measurements.

In its first year (Spiral 2) the project already demonstrated the closed-loop communication between the substrate and the slice. Upon consultation with GPO, Year 2 (Spiral 3) goals focus on integrating the developed IMF capabilities for measurement, and transfer of measurement (from substrate to in-slice stack), with existing GENI Inst&Meas capabilities. Specifically, one of the goals was to integrate and install perfSONAR (pS) MPs and archives to collect performance measurement data from Polatis switches and Infinera DWDM platforms on 4 BEN sites. This capability has been demonstrated successfully at GEC10 ! The goals for the rest of Spiral 3 is to integrate IMF capabilities as resources in ORCA, and possibly to align the slice -> substrate communication with existing GENI I&M capabilities.

The current deliverable also leveraged the Spiral 3 goals of the ERM project, which included integrating previously developed IMF code into the newly designed universal ERM box. Part of the ERM project team forms the Columbia U part of the IMF project team.

A Prototype of a Million Node GENI (MILNGENI)

Demo participants: Justin Cappos, Monzur Muhammad
Affiliation: University of Washington

For the seattle project we showed three different demos to the participating people in the GENI conference. The three demos were Seobbingo, www Repy Interpreter and HuXiang.

Seobbingo is a peer-to-peer backup system which could be used to backup any local files on local machines as well as on any peer nodes that are online currently. If an user wishes, they can download the backup file from the local machine or from any of the remote nodes if available. The files that are backed up are encrypted with the user's public key. Therefore in order to decrypt and open the backed up file, you will need the corresponding privatekey.

The www Repy Interpreter was implemented by Albert Rafetseder from the University of Vienna along with his colleagues and students. It allows you to deploy a Repy interpreter on any node. The application has a front end http webserver where an user can enter any Repy code and execute it with any arguments.

HuXiang was developed by the UW student Alan Loh which allows an user to deploy a website in a peer-to-peer manner. The deployed website is uploaded on all possible nodes and the ip address of all these nodes are associated with a hostname. The hostname redirects an user who is trying to access the website to one of the nodes that the website is deployed on. If one of the nodes goes down, the website can still be accessed as long as one of the nodes that have the website deployed is still up and running.

netKarma: GENI Provenance Registry (NETKARMA)

Demo participants: Chris Small, Mehmet Aktas

OFRewind (GLAB)

Demo participants: Affiliation: TU Berlin/Deutsche Telekom Labs/Stanford University

We will demonstrate how OFRewind, a system capable of recording and replaying network events, can be used to debug OpenFlow controller and switch issues. OFRewind, which works in most OpenFlow-enabled networks, provides several knobs for debugging issues: 1) control over the topology (choice of devices and their ports), 2) timeline, 3) subset of traffic to be collected and then replayed. We expect OFRewind to play a major role in helping ongoing OpenFlow deployment projects resolve production problems.

Deploying a Vertically Integrated GENI “Island”: A Prototype GENI Control Plane (ORCA) for a Metro-Scale Optical Testbed (BEN) (ORCA-BEN)

Demo participants: Ilia Baldine,Yufeng Xin, Anirban Mandal.
Affiliations: BEN: Breakable Experimental Network (http://ben.renci.org); Renaissance Computing Insititute (RENCI), Chapel Hill, NC; Duke University, Durham, NC; Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea; Infinera Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA

  • Demonstration of interoperability with protoGENI. Allow protoGENI tools create resource reservations on ORCA substrate. The demonstration showcases a GENI-AM-compatible controller within ORCA as well as ProtoGENI RSpec v1/v2 to ORCA's NDL-OWL converter. Using these components a user can request ORCA resources as if they were a ProtoGENI AM.
  • Demonstration of topology embedding in multiple sites. This demonstration shows ORCA's automated experiment embedding policies, in which the user is unaware which particular cloud sites are selected to embed her experiment. ORCA automatically selects sites based on available resources. QoS-assured links are provisioned between slivers and between sites to support a given experiment topology.

ProtoGENI

Demo participants: Matt Strum, Rob Ricci, Leigh Stoller
Affiliations: University of Utah

We will demonstrated several new features of ProtoGENI and our primary GUI for it:

  1. Stitching VLANs between multiple aggregates (the Utah Emulab site, and the Emulab sites at the University of Kentucky and the University of Wisconsin
  1. Using the GENI APIs to control components from two different control frameworks: ProtoGENI and PlanetLab
  1. New authentication system for the GUI

Scalable, Extensible, and Safe Monitoring of GENI (S3MONITOR)

Demo participants: Sonia Fahmy, Puneet Sharma

A SCAFFOLD for GENI-based Distributed Services (SCAFFOLD)

Demo participants: Michael Freedman, Jennifer Rexford, Erik Nordstrom
Affiliation: Princeton University

We will demonstrate Serval, a new architecture and network stack built around a service access layer that sits between the network and transport layers. Serval is an evolution of the SCAFFOLD architecture that allows scalable and flexible service access on top of IP, making it compatible with the existing Internet. The service access layer allows applications to access diverse (and potentially replicated) services based on opaque service names instead of network addresses, enabling flexible service discovery while implementing the necessary signaling to maintain connectivity to services across events such as multi-homing, migration, and instance failures. Our demo of Serval will demonstrate a client running on a Smartphone, discovering and accessing local services on laptops using ad-hoc network connectivity.

Exploiting Insecurity to Secure Software Update Systems (SecureUpdates)

Demo participants: Justin Cappos, Geremy Condra
Affiliation: University of Washington

This demo will show two example software update systems that are protected by TUF. We will show how previous systems were vulnerable to attack and then demonstrate how the systems are not vulnerable when TUF is used.

SPLIT Architecture MPLS/OpenFlow

Demo participants: András Kern, Dávid Jocha
Affiliation: Ericsson Research, Hungary

This demo shows a split architecture based control scheme for an operator’s end-to-end MPLS network, developed within the "Split architecture carrier grade networks" (SPARC) 7th framework EU project. In our proof-of-concept research work we make use of open-source components (like NOX) and extend them to control an access/aggregation network with a centralized controller that also interworks with a legacy distributed MPLS core network (see attached Figure 1). We show (i) unicast video stream setup as a result of interworking with the core MPLS network, including the use of OSPF and LDP, (ii) multicast video stream with dynamic subscription/unsubscription and optimal transmission tree recalculation, (iii) LLDP based controller driven restoration versus data plane managed protection.

The SPARC project activities also include looking at ways to make the centralized controller carrier grade by running a detailed evaluation of the scaling and resiliency of the Split Architecture.

Internet Scale Overlay Hosting (SPP)

Demo participants: Jon Turner, Patrick Crowley, John DeHart
Affiliation: Washington University, St. Louis

At GEC-10, we demonstrated he operation of the full five node configuration of Supercharged PlanetLab Platforms (SPP). These are deployed in Salt Lake City, Kansas City, Washington DC, Houston and Atlanta. We demonstrated two slices running on the full five node SPP configuration. The first is the product of a collaboration with Brighten Godfrey of the University of Illinois, on an experimental network concept called Slick Packets. In the Slick Packets framework, packets carry an encoding for a set of alternate routes that can be used in the event that the primary route for a packet fails at some intermediate router. We have implemented a code option for Slick Packets for the SPPs' Network Processor Engine, enabling multigigabit forwarding rates, even for minimum size packets. More details of the demonstration can be found in the attached presentation slides.

The second application demonstrated at GEC-10 was the Forest overlay network architecture, designed to support high quality virtual worlds. This demonstration used all five SPPs plus twenty-five PlanetLab nodes and included 100 "avatar-bots" that used the Forest network services to exchange periodic status reports. In this demonstration, the avatars used region-based multicasts to transmit their status information and to "tune in" to status reports from other nearby avatars. The demonstration also included a monitoring application and remote visualization that allowed demo participants to observe the avatars moving within the virtual world and to see how the clustering of avatars affected network traffic levels. More details can be found in the attached presentation slides.

Programmable Edge Node (UMLPEN)

Demo participants: Tim Ficarra, Eric Murray, Yan Luo
Affiliation: University of Massachusetts Lowell

At GEC10, we demonstrated the successful integration of our UMLPEN testbed with the ProtoGENI control framework. In our aggregate site, there are two PEN nodes with specialized network processor boards, which support virtual network interfaces and can be used to accelerate packet processing. These PEN nodes are "shareable" nodes running OpenVZ containers for accommodating user requests. Each OpenVZ container has access to virtual NICs instantiated by the network processor card. We demonstrated the creation of network experiments through ProtoGENI user interfaces.

OpenFlow experiments: We showed how to use our PEN testbed to create and conduct OpenFlow experiments. A user can request to create an OpenFlow switch, which was mapped to an OpenVZ container running on one of the PEN node. The controller and end nodes were also created using OpenVZ containers on another PEN node. Network connections were established and ping/iperf tests showed the operation of the OpenFlow switch and OpenFlow controller.

UQAM OpenFlow

Demo participants:
Affiliation: GPO

In this demo, we show that designing an OpenFlow 1.1-controlled forwarding hardware on network processors (NP) allows a flexible forwarding behavior. In fact, we propose a software design that automatically pushes "on the fly" different forwarding decisions in a NP-based hardware data plane on which we implemented OF1.1. Particularly, we show how long does it take for our proposed software OpenFlow Preprocessor Engine (OPE) to update, at the right time, the multiple memory structures used by the NP hardware to cache the forwarding decisions corresponding to different behaviors/applications mix.

Virtualizable Wireless Substrate

Demo participants:
Affiliation: WIMAX

We demonstrate a virtualization substrate for virtualizing the wireless resources in Wimax N/w. On the virtualized Wimax prototype, we demonstrate a dynamic admission control framework for video traffic and show benefits of virtualization of wireless resources in Cellular networks.
