Agenda Details

Attendees will learn on how to use the LabWiki tool to plan, prepare, and execute experiments in GENI testbeds. Attendees will learn these steps by creating a simple star topology in which the central node will implement an OF-based learning switch and the functionality of that switch will be verified through an experiment script. We will give an overview on the inner workings of LabWiki, OML/OMF, AMQP, and the GENI experiment service.

The tutorial is structured as follows:

  • Explain GIMI inner workings (1 hour) - Module B
    1. describe images (tools, postboot script)
    2. OMF/OML
    3. LabWiki
    4. Experiment script
    5. Short segment on OF

Prerequisites

  • A GENI account, if you don't have one sign up!
  • Familiarity with how to reserve GENI resources with any of the GENI Tools (GENI Experimenter Portal, Omni, Flack). If you don't know you can take any of the tutorials:
    • Reserving resources using Flack tutorial
    • Reserving resources using Omni tutorial
  • Familiarity with logging in to GENI compute resources.
  • Create iRODs account
  • Introduction to LabWiki tutorial
  • Familiarity with Unix Command line - See "Tools" section
  • "Basic OpenFlow concepts". It is assumed that the attendees, already have an understanding of OpenFlow and its API

How to get Help

  • Always ask your tutors (tutorial helper/presenter/TA) first. They are the fastest way to solve the problem.
  • If you are using a specific aggregate or tool, you should consider registering in their mailing list. It is a great way to get connected with other GENI users and it is an excellent source of wisdom.
  • Send mail to the GENI help list: help@geni.net.
  • If you want to chat real-time with other GENI users and ask questions, join us in a GENI chatroom.
  • geni-gimi-users@googlegroups.com
