=== Stitching ===

==== Organizers ====
  Tom Lehman, ''USC/ISI''

==== Time ====
  Wed 3:30 - 5:30 pm

==== Description ====

   A key architectural question for GENI has been how to connect the resources provided by multiple aggregates into a coherent network. The key objective is to enable automated and realtime network stitching for slices which span multiple aggregates.  Connecting resources across aggregates remains a significant challenge and requirement for GENI. We will demonstrate a common RSpec element to describe stitching resources, and progress on dynamic VLAN instantiation between ProtoGENI and MAX via ION.
