    3 A key architectural question for GENI has been how to connect the resources provided by multiple aggregates into a coherent network. The key objective is to enable automated and realtime network stitching for slices which span multiple aggregates. Ethernet VLANs have been identified as the initial network technology to provide slice level inter-aggregate connections and isolation. However, there are many architecture and design decisions still required. These include, how do you select the VLAN IDs to use and inform all necessary aggregates? How do you handle external networks which may be in between two GENI Aggregates of interest? Is the network stitching service a shared service which coordinates across aggregates, or are aggregates responsible for coordinating amongst themselves, or a hybrid model? How is stitching related information described and shared ?

    5 Currently there is an adopted architecture, including an RSpec schema for describing stitching resources and requests.

     7Current efforts involve specifying and implementing a topology service and a computation service (per the stitching architecture), and fielding this architecture at more GENI aggregates.
