= Aggregate Overview =

|| Aggregate Manager URL|| https://foam.gpolab.bbn.com:3626/foam/gapi/1  ||
|| Aggregate Resources  || The GPO Lab !OpenFlow testbed consists of three OpenFlow-controlled switches (one each of HP, NEC, and Quanta) and a FOAM-managed FlowVisor controlling them. ||
|| Typical Experiments  || The GPO Lab OpenFlow testbed is suited for experiments that require flexible, programmable network configuration. ||
|| Aggregate Status || Operational monitoring not widely available, restricted access to monitoring at [https://gmoc-db.grnoc.iu.edu/protected-openid/index.pl GMOC]||
|| Layer 2 Connectivity || Internet2 and NLR for each of the other GPO aggregates (e.g. [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabInstaGENIOpenFlow GPOLab InstaGENI FOAM], [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabExoGENIOpenFlow GPOLab ExoGENI FOAM], [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabProtoGENIOpenFlow GPOLab ProtoGENI FOAM], and [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabMyPLCOpenFlow GPOLab MyPLC FOAM]. ||

GPO Lab OpenFlow testbed consisting of three OpenFlow switches available to experimenters: dill (HP ProCurve), poblano (NEC) and bamboo (Quanta Pronto):

== GPO !OpenFlow Aggregates ==

The GPO site has multiple !OpenFlow Aggregates and a page is available for each ExoGENI, InstaGENI, ProtoGENI and MyPLC Resource Aggregates to describes their !OpenFlow connection details :
 
 * [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabInstaGENIOpenFlow GPOLab InstaGENI FOAM] 
 * [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabExoGENIOpenFlow GPOLab ExoGENI FOAM]
 * [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabProtoGENIOpenFlow GPOLab ProtoGENI FOAM]
 * [wiki:GeniAggregate/GpoLabMyPLCOpenFlow GPOLab MyPLC FOAM] 
 
''Note: The GPO site also has a WiMAX testbed with external VLANs, which is expected to support !OpenFlow in the future, but is not currently available for experimenters.  WiMAX VLANs include: VLAN 3733 (GPO to Rutgers) and VLAN 3735 (GPO to NYU) ''

Each of the aggregate listed above access either NLR or Internet2 via the Site's OpenFlow Switch named Poblano, whose connections are captured below:
