Advanced Topics in Networking Experiments using GENI

Organizer

Niky Riga, Sarah Edwards GENI Project Office

Time

Tues 3:30 - 5:30 pm

Description

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide an overview of the GENI multi-campus, backbone (layer 2) network, and provide hands-on experience about how to design and conduct experiments that span multiple aggregates. In this tutorial, we are going to use the ​Omni client which is a command line tool for reserving resources across control frameworks. We are going to go over different type of rspecs used by aggregates and explain the life-cycle of a GENI experiment.

Tutorial instructions are here, and backup instructions are here.

Prerequisites

A basic understanding of GENI concepts (will be covered in the Newcomers' Session) and of GENI experiments (will be covered in the Flack Tutorial). Although not a requirement, it is recommended that attendees are already familiar with Planetlab, ProtoGENI and OpenFlow aggregates.

Please Arrive With:

Laptop with recent version of ​Virtual Box. If you are unable to bring one you may partner with someone else.

Pre-Work

Note - Please complete this step in advance, as doing it on the day of the tutorial will take up a lot of time.

  1. Apply for an account at this page: ​https://www.pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com/joinproject.php3 For Project name use : Gec11Gpo.

This account is temporary and will be deactivated on August 12th.

If you already have an account with GPO's ProtoGENI cluster, you don't need to take this step.

  1. Download and install ​Virtual Box on the laptop you are using for the tutorial.
  1. ​Download the VM image.

Results

After completing this tutorial, you will have a working GENI slice that will include resources from different aggregates and you will know how to design and deploy a multi-aggregate experiment in GENI.

Although your account is temporary, it is a real GENI account that you can use to run experiments in GENI until it's deactivated. If you would like to experiment on GENI after that, please contact as at ​help@geni.net to get a permanent account.
