Lead the integration of the Princeton control framework onto the GpENI testbed. 2. Enable backbone connection (Internet2/NLR) supporting end-to-end VLAN connections into the GpENI testbed. 3. Make GpENI infrastructure running Princeton control framework available to external researchers over VLAN connections by the end of year 1. 4. Present GpENI integration and operational status to the various control frameworks selected in Spiral 1 through active participation in GEC meetings and the appropriate working groups == Current Capabilities == == Milestones == [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.a new geniwrapper)]][[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.b study DCN in GpENI)]][[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.c tools -)]][[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.d access)]][[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.e VINI)]][[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.f MAX)]] [attachment:MAX-GpENI-interconnection.pdf Click here for report] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.g deploy DCN in GpENI -)]][[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.h 2nd Ciena switch -)]][[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S2.i web-portal)]] Click [https://geni-planetlab-5.ksu.gpeni.net/ here] for portal.

The connections between the DWDM equipment, the availability of the 10GBE switch and the connections to the I2 transport network are to be determined. Contact James Sterbenz for status updates. The Ciena switches are scheduled for acquisition over the three year period of performance (spiral-1 plus 2 option years). The initial switch to be purchased in spiral-1 is the Ciena Core Director located at The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). == GPO Liaison System Engineer == [mailto:vthomas@geni.net Vic Thomas] == Related Projects == none currently listed
