= Enterprise GENI Evaluation =

The Enterprise-GENI solution is composed of four main entities:

    * OpenFlow-based Substrate Version ??: Switches that communicate using the !OpenFlow protocol to the !OpenFlow controller. Software version available include
                     * Indigo http://www.openflowhub.org/display/Indigo/Indigo+-+Download+Page
                     * Pica8
    * FlowVisor Version 0.8.1.2 :  Custom-build OpenFlow controller that isolates experiment control traffic. DOwnloaded debian package from http://updates.flowvisor.org/openflow/downloads/GENI/DEB/unstable/binary-i386/
    * Opt In Manager Version 0.2.5 : The application used by the network administrator to allow experiments to be hosted in an OpenFlow-based network. It interacts with the FlowVisor to push needed slice definitions.
    * Expedient Version 4.0.2:  Portal for defining experiment resources. 
  
    * NOX Zaku branch: An OpenFlow Controller providing flow level control of network traffic. Location?
    * SNAC (http://www.openflowhub.org/display/Snac/SNAC+OpenFlow+Controller+Packages) An !OpenFlow Controller which is a NOX module. 
   
''Note:   * FOAM Version 0.2.2 will replace the Expedient Aggregate Manager and Opt In Manager. Version? Location?''
