= GENI Stitching Computation Service =

The GENI Stitching Computation Service (SCS) was developed by the [http://www.maxgigapop.net/ Mid-Atlantic Crossroads] aka MAX team.  This services provides network stitching path information between GENI sites.  Service is available at:

  http://oingo.dragon.maxgigapop.net:8081/geni/xmlrpc

Soon to transition to Internet2 operate host.

= Stitching Service Details = 

The GENI SCS was developed by [http://www.maxgigapop.net/ MAX] and provides path information to applications that create slivers between GENI sites. The service also track VLAN delegation for all GENI sites that support stitching. For a list of VLANs delegated by all aggregates supporting stitching see the [https://wiki.maxgigapop.net/twiki/bin/view/GENI/StaticNetworksView Delegated GENI Stitching VLANs] page. Also any [wiki:GeniAggregate GENI aggregate] that supports stitching provides information details in its [wiki:GeniAggregate GENI aggregate] page details.

== Stitching Connections to GENI End-points  ==

Using GENI credentials, or credentials from an [http://incommon.org InCommon] identity provider, users can request GENI resources using any tools that supports stitching, such as ([http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/Stitcher GCF stitcher], [https://portal.geni.net/ GENI Portal jFed or Jacks tools], and via [http://jfed.iminds.be/ jFed at iMinds]. Production GENI sites that support stitching and are known to the [wiki:GENIRacksHome/Operators/GENISCS GENI SCS] are documented in the [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites GENI Network Stitching Sites] page.

== Stitching Path details ==

The GENI SCS supplies path and VLAN information for all sites listed at [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites GENI Network Stitching Sites]. Path chosen may include one or more of the following network aggregates: ION, AL2S, MAX, PG Utah (Utah IG sites only).

Path details are not captured here as they are continuously expanding. 

== Topology Information ==

For a list of known stitching aggregate refer to the the [wiki:GeniNetworkStitchingSites GENI Network Stitching Sites] page or simply use the omni tool scs.py to get a list of known aggregates. 
 
== VLAN Translation == 

The SCS supports interactions with the ION, AL2S and MAX network aggregates, and all support VLAN translation.
