Education

GENI Cinema

This demo shows how SDN can be used to implement a live video streaming service for streaming and switching between classroom lectures.

Video streaming over the Internet, be it static or live streaming, is rapidly increasing in popularity. Many video streaming services exist to serve a variety of needs, such as video conferencing, entertainment, education, and the broadcast of live events. These services rely heavily on the server application to adapt to increasing and decreasing demand for a particular video resource. Furthermore, they require the reallocation of resources and the restart of the stream when a client stops, starts, and/or switches to a different stream. SDN and specifically OpenFlow can be creatively used to reallocate some of these tasks to the network and link layers.

Our goal is to provide a scalable service for GENI using OpenFlow that supports the broadcast of live video streams from an arbitrary number of video-producers to an arbitrary number of video-consumers, where video- consumers can change “channels” without disrupting their existing stream and without affecting the load on a particular video stream source.

Steroid OpenFlow Service

"With the recent rise in cloud computing, applications are routinely accessing and interacting with data on remote resources. As data sizes become increasingly large, often combined with their locations being far from the applications, the well known impact of lower TCP throughput over large delay-bandwidth product paths becomes more significant to these applications. While myriads of solutions exist to alleviate the problem, they require specialized software at both the application host and the remote data server, making it hard to scale up to a large range of applications and execution environments. A software defined networking based solution called Steroid OpenFlow Service (SOS) is proposed as a network service that transparently increases the throughput of data transfers across large networks. SOS scales up in an OpenFlow-based cloud environment to provide increased network throughput for multiple applications simultaneously. A cloud-based approach is particularly beneficial to applications in environments without access to high performance networks.

This demo shows the scalability of SOS and how it can be deployed within GENI to provide significantly increased throughput for long distance data transfers over TCP. An similar demonstration will also be shown on a high performance 10Gbps network."

GENI for classes and GENI for the masses

This demo shows two educational offerings available on GENI: the GENI Classroom-as-a-Service on the wireless testbeds (GENI for classes), and the GENI MOOC which includes browser-based lab exercises in a Massive Open Online Class delivery format (GENI for the masses).

Educators and those interested in engineering or computer science and engineering education at all levels. This demo showcases two educational offerings built on GENI and available for general use. The GENI Classroom-as-a-Service is a set of experiments designed to complement traditional courses on computer networks, wireless and mobile computing, or wireless communications. To date, it has been used by hundreds of students in over a dozen classes. We will also demo GENI MOOC, an experiment-based Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the subject of computer networks, with lab experiments that run on GENI resources. This course is aimed at beginners who want to learn about how the Internet works, students who want an introduction to some research topics in networking, and instructors who may use these browser-based experiments as in-class demonstrations or homework assignments.

Dynamic Sharing of GENI AM Resources

Resource requirements may change over the lifetime of an experiment or job. The experimenter may think, ""What would happen if I scaled up the number of compute nodes?"", and want to add more temporarily to test a theory --- without recreating other experiment infrastructure. Compute or I/O-intensive jobs may be able to opportunistically use additional resources to increase throughput. Moreover, cluster or testbed resource requirements change as user workloads come and go. Depending on cluster design, location, and resource requirements, it may be useful for clusters to share resources, seeking temporary ""loans"" from under-utilized clusters to increase job throughput at times of high load. We have developed new ProtoGENI API extensions, server-side (AM) management and policy code, and client tools to manage experiments whose resource allocations grow and shrink dynamically over their lifetimes. These features support not only dynamic experiments within an AM, but also allow the AM's resources to be used temporarily by other, external clusters. To arbitrate and facilitate sharing between both clusters and experiments with different resources, priorities, guarantees, and users, our dynamic experiment management software employs a mix of flexible policy, soft and hard resource guarantees, and a general, cooperative encoding of resource values among cluster management and dynamic experiment clients to promote eager sharing of unused resources. Our demo will showcase both dynamic experiments, and inter-cluster resource sharing, at several CloudLab clusters. OpenStack cloud experiments at multiple CloudLab clusters will add nodes when they are available, and give up nodes when the local cluster is under pressure. One CloudLab cluster will share its resources with a Condor pool, and the CloudLab share of the Condor pool will grow and shrink. We also hope to have another CloudLab cluster integrated with an HPC cluster running Slurm,with the HPC cluster requesting CloudLab nodes based on its workload demands, or releasing them when CloudLab is under resource pressure (and thus requests or demands them back). We will be able to twiddle policy knobs to induce dynamic change and show how the clusters and experiments adapt. We plan for demo participants to see this resource dynamism and a snapshot of the management software's decisions in a ""dashboard"" web page.

ToMaTo on CloudLab

This demo shows the ToMaTo network testbed running on CloudLab infrastructure.

The ToMaTo ( ​http://tomato-lab.org/) is a network testbed which enables researchers to run their experiment on a specifically designed virtual networking topologies. The ToMaTo consists of a backend which controls multiple ToMaTo hosts and a front-end which allows users to edit and manage their experiment from their browser.

ToMaTo hosts provide virtualization technology and a complete toolset for more advanced experiments. The hosts run ToMaTo software package on existing operating system but installing the software needs bare metal machines and cannot be run in a virtualized environment.

Therefore, CloudLab which provides bare metal machines is suitable for running and scaling ToMaTo hosts infrastructure. The demo will show how ToMaTo hosts are provisioned on demand and runs on CloudLab infrastructure.

ARCCN Self-Organized Cloud Platform

This demo shows a working prototype of the cloud orchestration platform with VNF use-case demonstration.

Attendees interested in cloud computing, DC, NFV, SND, network visualization and OpenStack should see this demo.

The Self-organizing cloud platform (SOC) to deploy virtual networks in DC is presented. The platform supports both IaaS mode and PaaS mode. SOC platform uses some components of OpenStack (Nova, Cinder, Keystone, Rabbit Message Queue) in combination with the original specialized components: OpenFlow controller, orchestrator, unified scheduler for consistent resource allocation, graphical user interface (GUI) for network definition, an extensive “sensor” system for physical resources monitoring and management, and modified OpenStack component Neutron.

SOC cloud platform considered in this demo allows us to deploy both manageable and non-manageable virtual networks in the data center. The possibility of virtual resources migration, consistent scheduling and management of computing resources allows one to ensure a high load of physical resources and guaranteed SLA compliance for the network as a whole. A request for virtual network creation can be defined either by means of the network description language or by means of a GUI.

Network Troubleshooting with SDN Traceroute Protocol (SDNTrace)

The demo shows a proposed protocol to trace flow paths on a given network composed of SDN network devices.

This demo shows a network protocol to trace L2 flow paths using network function. A probe packet is created to trace a flow paths with an SDNTrace network protocol. The devices on the path will forward the probe to the Network Function (NF). The NF will construct and send a respond packet back to the originator, and as the same time send the original probe back to the devices to forward to the next hop. The process continue until the probe packet reaches the destination and all the traced information is collected at the originator.

GpENI, KanREN, US Ignite Future Internet Testbed & Experiments

Our demo is an interactive visualization system that shows how a given SDN enabled network behaves in the presence of area-based challenges. Our visualization system consists of a Google Map front-end hosted on a server that also enables event based communication between the front-end and the challenged network. The challenges are determined by the user using a real-time editable polygon. The visualization system shows real-time performance parameters from physical experiments defined by the user and carried out using our KanREN OpenFlow testbed. When the challenge is applied on the map, the nodes in the polygon are removed from the underlying OpenFlow network topology and appropriate measures taken to ensure minimal disruption. As performance metrics, we present the real-time packet delivery ratio as well as throughput for the TCP and UDP based application traffic used in the experiments. Furthermore, we have more recently focused on extensive enhancements to the Google map interface by including controls that allow the user detailed control on the state of the experiments and their varied configuration. We have also working on adding support for Mininet based experiments that would also the user to run OpenFlow based experiments on various topologies that are currently part of KU-TopView, a database of topology data from real physical and logical networks.

SmartFIRE EU-South Korea Cooperation on Future Internet Infrastructure

This poster is to present EU - South Korea cooperation under FIRE project (Future Internet Research and Experimentation = FIRE)

Attendees interested in using different testbeds (like in ex. OpenStack? testbed) should attend. There is an increasing demand from both academic and industrial communities to bridge the gap between visionary research and large-scale experimentation, through experimentally driven advanced research consisting of ‘iterative’ cycles of research, design and experimentation of new networking and service architectures and paradigms addressing all levels, including horizontal research on issues such as system complexity and security.

This approach needs the set-up of large-scale experimental facilities, going beyond individual project testbeds, which are also needed as validation tools, i.e. for interoperability issues. They would help in anticipating possible migration paths for technological developments, which may be potentially disruptive; in discovering new and emerging behaviors and use patterns; as well as in assessing the socioeconomic implications of new technological solutions at an early stage.

FIRE addresses the emerging expectations which are being put upon the Internet, by providing a research environment for investigating and experimentally validating highly innovative and revolutionary ideas.
