= Welcome Aggregate Providers =

Aggregate providers are owners/operators of campus networks or research testbeds federated with GENI.  For a list of production GENI resources, see [wiki:GENIProduction].  

[wiki:GeniAggregate] lists all existing aggregates.

[wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites] lists aggregates that support GENI stitching.

[http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GENIRacksHome/Operators Operators/Engineers] provides network connectivity details for each aggregate. 

== Monitoring ==

Monitoring information about GENI is available in several places.  (Each source tests status differently, so reports may differ.  Contact us via [mailto:help@geni.net] for monitoring questions.

== GENI Racks ==

Information on GENI Racks [wiki:GENIRacksHome here].

Information about security in GENI Racks [wiki:GENIRacksHome/Security here].

The GENI Recommended Use Policy is [wiki:RUP here].

Information on !OpenFlow [wiki:OpenFlow here].

== Custom Networking ==

Support for demonstrations and tutorials sometimes requires custom configurations to interconnect GENI resources with resources for other projects.  Contact help@geni.net to request support.  


== Federating your testbed with GENI ==
To federate your existing testbed with GENI, you should:
  * Implement the [wiki:GAPI_AM_API GENI AM API]
  * Agree to the [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ComprehensiveSecurityPgm/Aggregate%20Provider%20Agreement%20v04.pdf Aggregate Providers Agreement].
  * Recognize experimenter credentials issued by a GENI slice authority.  This means you will grant access to your testbed resources to experimenters with the appropriate credentials signed by a GENI slice authority.  You may set up policies specific to your testbed on usage of your testbed resources.  For example, you may limit the number of resources held by an experimenter or how long they are held.
  * Document your aggregate and add a summary link to the [wiki:GeniAggregate list of federated GENI aggregates].  Please use this [wiki:TemplateAggregatePage template] documentation page for your summary, and link additional pages as needed.
  * Test integration with other GENI engineers
