T4) GENI I&M Testing Environment

Platform Targets
Experiment and Measurement Orchestration Tools
Interfaces/Protocols Between Tools and Services

1) Goals

Provide a concise definition of the GENI environment for acceptance testing and operating GENI I&M tools.
Define a step-by-step process for the GEMINI and GIMI tools sets over Spirals 4, 5 and 6 such that:

They deliver useful tools in each spiral
They eventually provide tools that can be included in slices built with any type of GENI hosts
Included GENI hosts should be those provided by ExoGENI and InstaGENI racks, as soon as they are available

2) Tasks

Define the environment where the GENI I&M tools must operate and will be tested, including:

User tools and services for experiment and measurement, setup and orchestration
Interfaces/protocols/APIs between user tools and GENI aggregates
Included GENI aggregtaes, with enumerated topologies
