Spiral 1 Connectivity

The list of MAX participant institutions that will have potential access to GENI for research experiments are included here: <http://wiki.maxgigapop.net/twiki/bin/view/MAX/Participants>

These participants are homed into multiple PoP locations where MAX equipment has space agreements with universities, carriers, and participating partners.

PoP locations include: University of Maryland, College Park
USC ISI-East Arlington, VA
Qwest Eckington Place NE, Washington, DC
George Washington University
Level 3 Old Meadow Rd. Mclean, VA
6 St Paul Street Baltimore
660 Redwood Street Baltimore
Equinix 21715 Filigree Court Ashburn, VA

MAX is able to fully interconnect with NLR layers 1, 2, and 3. Peter O'Neil is the point of contact for NLR connectivity and Chris Tracy for Internet2.

Clarification is needed to address the current air gap of an Ethernet switch between the I2 10G port on the Infinera located at Mclean and the MAX infrastructure. MAX could connect the Infinera either directly to one of DRAGON's existing layer 2 switches, or if another switch is provided, we can connect DRAGON to that switch.
