| 1 | === R5) Add OMF/OML to WiMAX sites === |
| 2 | Fraida Fund (NYU Poly), Manu Gosain (GPO), Derek Meyer (Wisconsin), [[BR]] |
| 3 | |
| 4 | * Equip a WiMAX site with full OMF/OML capabilities, installing on VMs [[BR]] |
| 5 | * Include Login Service for Remote Users [[BR]] |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * NYU Poly configuration: [[BR]] |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * 1) physical host acting as base station controller, runs the asn-gw and wimaxrf AM. [[BR]] |
| 10 | * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows. [[BR]] |
| 11 | * It has Ethernet connections to the NEC IDU, NYU-Poly network (and Internet), and very soon GENI backbone (campus IS just informed me that they will be testing that tomorrow). [[BR]] |
| 12 | * We have firewall rules set up so this host only accepts traffic from host (2) on the wimaxrf AM port. This allows us to make sure that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS. [[BR]] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * 2) physical host running OMF 5.3 AM, EC, and some other services that are useful for the testbed. [[BR]] |
| 15 | * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows. [[BR]] |
| 16 | * It has Ethernet connections to NYU-Poly network (internet) and OMF control network. [[BR]] |
| 17 | * This is the host that testbed users log on to. We have firewall rules set up on this host so that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS or communicate with the testbed nodes. [[BR]] |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * 3) physical host that serves our group website and the reservation system for the testbed. It's connected to the NYU-Poly network (and Internet) [[BR]] |
| 20 | * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows. [[BR]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * Our testbed nodes are scattered throughout several CS labs and research areas (not part of our group). [[BR]] |
| 23 | * They are connected to the pre-existing Ethernet jacks in the walls and floors of those rooms, which all go back to a CS server room, where we patch them through to our own (non-openflow) switch for the control network. [[BR]] |
| 24 | * We do have an openflow switch that we plan to deploy somewhere at some point. [[BR]] |

| 29 | * BBN experience (need summary) [[BR]] |

| 32 | |
| 33 | * All services are running on the same physical machine. [[BR]] |
| 34 | * HP server that came with the base station. [[BR]] |
| 35 | * The base OS is Debian and virtual machines using for the services (Virtualbox) [[BR]] |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * Physical machine network connections: [[BR]] |
| 38 | * Eth0 (128.105.22.xxx): University network (internet) [[BR]] |
| 39 | * Eth1 (10.3.8.126): Network to IDU of base station [[BR]] |
| 40 | * Eth2 (10.0.0.1): Control network for omf [[BR]] |
| 41 | * Eth3: Connected to openflow (physically, but not enabled until we can get a vlan tag to GENI backbone) [[BR]] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * Base operating system: Debian [[BR]] |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * Virtualbox guests: [[BR]] |
| 46 | * 1. Ubuntu 9.04 -> aggmgr 5.2 -> wimaxrf service [[BR]] |
| 47 | * Eth0 (128.105.22.xxx): bridged interface to university network [[BR]] |
| 48 | * Eth1(10.3.8.254): bridged interface to base station network [[BR]] |
| 49 | |
| 50 | * 2. Ubuntu 10.04 -> aggmgr 5.3 -> cmcStub, Frisbee, inventory, pxe, result, saveimage [[BR]] |
| 51 | * Also expctl, resctl, and xmpp on same machine [[BR]] |
| 52 | * Eth0 (128.105.22.xxx): bridged interface to university network [[BR]] |
| 53 | * Eth1 (10.0.0.200): bridged interface to control network [[BR]] |
| 54 | |
| 55 | |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * Coming: plan to federate with ProtoGENI cluster [[BR]] |
| 58 | * Reference: [http://www.tridentcom.org/2012/program TridentCom 2012] : "Federating wired and wireless test facilities through Emulab and OMF: the iLab.t use case", Stefan Bouckaert (IBBT - Ghent University) [[BR]] |
| 59 | * BBN is exploring how to utilize this to better integrate WiMAX sites into GENI, and be able to utilize the GENI AM API to assgin resources. [[BR]] |
