166 | 166 | The Starter Racks project was an effort to get [http://www.nsf.gov/cise/usignite/ US Ignite] cities connected to the GENI Network to facilitate experimental network and compute research, and city application development. The Starter Racks jump started the delivery of fully integrated network and compute resources to selected sites. During this period, the Starter racks did not deliver GENI software features such as an Aggregate Manager. In any case, it was possible to use a Starter Rack as a Meso-scale !OpenFlow Site, but required GPO Infrastructure support for implementation. Furthermore, details were provided in the [#GetYourOwnGENIRack section] below to build your own Starter Rack. |
