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 == GpENI web portal: https://geni-planetlab-5.ksu.gpeni.net/ (Contact PI for account to use portal to create slices across GpENI PlanetLab and VINI nodes.) == Milestones == [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.a Demonstration and outreach at GEC9)]] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.b Operational GENI aggregate)]] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.c GEC10 demo and outreach)]] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.d OpenFlow planning for GpENI CoreDirectors)]] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.e UMKC CoreDirector)]] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.f GEC11 demo and outreach)]] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.g KSU CoreDirector)]] [[BR]] [[MilestoneDate(GpENI: S3.h OpenFlow in GpENI available to experimenters)]] [[BR]] == Project Technical Documents == Link to GpENI wiki maintained by KU ''[https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/gpeni]'' [[BR]] [wiki:"Ciena Core Director switch component manager interface" Ciena Core Director switch component manager interface][[BR]] [attachment:"ION_in_GpENI_Investigation_Report.pdf" Options for deploying DCN/ION service within the GpENI network][[BR]] [attachment:MAX-GpENI-interconnection.pdf On Interconnecting GpENI with MAX: A Report][[BR]] [https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/gpeni/Layer2Connection_between_GpENI_and_MAX Layer2Connection between GpENI and MAX] == Quarterly Status Reports == [wiki:GpENI-4Q08-status 4Q08 Status Report][[BR]] [wiki:GpENI-1Q09-status 1Q09 Status Report][[BR]] [wiki:GpENI-2Q09-status 2Q09 Status Report] ''copy downloaded 07-08-2009''[[BR]] [wiki:GpENI-3Q09-status 3Q09 Status Report] ''copy downloaded 10-27-2009''[[BR]] [attachment:GpENI-2009-dec.pdf 4Q09 Status Report] [[BR]] [attachment:GpENI-2010-mar.pdf 1Q10 Status Report] [[BR]] [attachment:GpENI-2010-jun.pdf 2Q10 Status Report] (Wiki version at https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/gpeni/Quarterly_Reports#June_2010) or [https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/gpeni_wiki/index.php/Quarterly_Reports Link to Status Reports on GpENI wiki] == Spiral 1 Connectivity == The GpENI network is formed from the Great Plains Network which has equipment co-located at an Internet2 POP in Kansas City, MO. 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
