a.k.a. OFTRAIN

Scope

This project will develop material for a 2-day hands-on workshop on GENI and OpenFlow targeted primarily at network administrators for university campuses and regional networks, and run this workshop repeatedly at major operator conferences (Joint Techs) and at the IU GlobalNOC education lab. The objectives are to: (1) Demonstrate to network administrators that OpenFlow is stable and can be run in parallel with production traffic, (2) Give network administrators a firm understanding of OpenFlow so they are comfortable with supporting it on their production networks, and (3) Help network administrators understand the potential value of OpenFlow and GENI on their networks.

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.
