Scope
The scope of work on this project is to specify, build, and
demonstrate a prototype end host deployment platform consisting of
three components: a) a general-purpose yet safe execution environment
for experimenter code running on end hosts, b) a light-weight,
programmable and customizable proxy for end hosts for redirecting
end-user traffic into GENI, and c) a clearinghouse for
resources contributed by end users who have opted into the system.
Specific development goals include:
- Development of a viable end-host virtual machine
- Control-plane integration, including resource discovery and reservation; experiment debug and control
- End-user configuration and management tools
- Deployment strategies such as inclusion in Bit Tyrant or web plug-in
- End-user policy & awareness issues and mechanisms
Milestones
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.a Installer v 0.1)? Installation scripts and simple packaging for Windows / Mac / Linux.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.b End hosts with intermitted connectivity)? Operation with end-hosts that have intermittent connectivity and/or are behind firewalls and NATs.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.c Implement example applications)? Example applications such as Chord and a web redirection service.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.d Create an example assignment)? Example assignment leveraging Seattle that an educator might use.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.e Integrate with ProtoGENI)? Calls to get resources & release resources work across both frameworks.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.f Clearinghouse API spec. for end-hosts)? Specification for Clearinghouse API for end-hosts.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.g v0.1 of end-host clearinghouse)? Reference implementation v0.1 of end-host clearinghouse.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.h Sprial 2 identify management mechanisms)? Integrate Sprial 2 identify management mechanisms.
MilestoneDate(MillionNodeGeni: S2.i Collaborate with O&M team)? Collaborate with O&M team on methods to share O&M data with other GENI groups.

Software Deliverables
The node manager and repy (end host vm) are in the seattle_repy.tgz tarball that can be downloaded from https://seattlegeni.cs.washington.edu/geni/download/flibble/. Install the node manager on the local machine by running ./install.sh. Note that you should have Python 2.5.2 installed (but it may work with Python 2.5.X or 2.6).
The reference implementation of a trivial experiment manager (a test client for the node manager) can be downloaded from http://seattlegeni.cs.washington.edu/dist/demokit.zip. This contains seash.py which is a trivial PLuSH / GUSH-like experiment manager.
The installer is available at https://seattle.cs.washington.edu/wiki/BaseInstallers.

Spiral 1 Connectivity
Part of the ProtoGENI cluster.
Connectivity issues need to be sorted out (NAT traversal, intermittent connectivity, etc). End user devices will already have IP addresses. Need to figure out how they connect to clearinghouses, etc.
