Project Title
KanREN-GENI: GENI in the Kansas Research and Education Network and the Great Plains Network
a.k.a. KANREN
Technical Contacts
PI: James Sterbenz, University of Kansas, jpgs@ittc.ku.edu
Participating Organizations
University of Kansas
GPO Liaison System Engineer
GPO System Engineer: Heidi Dempsey
Scope
This project will deploy a OpenFlow Ethernet switches in KanREN and at UMKC and UNL, as well as Ciena CoreDirectors subject to availability of surplus I2 hardware and software from Ciena. This infrastructure will enable direct GENI OpenFlow access in 2 RONs and 3 Midwest states, provide an opportunity to investigate simultaneously running DCN and OpenFlow (using existing GpENI interconnections to MAX), and enable collaboration with GENI rack deployment projects. KanREN-GENI deployments will be fully compliant with GENI software standards for GENI aggregates, as published at GENI Engineering Conferences. The sites will use one or more GENI Aggregate Managers controlling access to the aggregate resources. The sites will also support GENI experimenter access via the ProtoGENI, PlanetLab, and OpenFlow control frameworks. The sites will support shared GENI monitoring and operations procedures and interfaces for the meso-scale infrastructure as published at GENI Engineering Conferences.

Spiral 2 Connectivity
Links to wiki pages about details of infrastrcture that the project is using (if any). Examples include IP addresses, hostnames, URLs, DNS servers, local site network maps, VLANIDs (if permanent VLANs are used), pointers to public keys. GPO may do first drafts of any of these and have the PI correct them to bootstrap. May also include ticket links for pending or known connectivity issues. Many projects will have a full tree of wiki pages here.
