Scope

The scope of work on this project is to extend the OMF (cOntrol and Management Framework) to design and implement a prototype of a GENI-compliant resource management, experiment control, and measurement framework, so that it can support experiments across heterogeneous testbed resources, with a specific focus on mobile testbeds. GENI control framework functions will be added to the OMF as they become defined. Support for mobile testbeds will include the handling of disconnection, and providing temporal and spatial control. Reference implementations of your GENI-compliant resource management, experiment control, and measurement framework will be provided to another wireless project, and its testbed will be integrated into your OMF environment as a federated testbed. Both testbeds will be connected to a GENI backbone network.

Quarterly Status Reports

ORBIT: 4Q08 Status Report
ORBIT: 1Q09 Status Report

Spiral 1 Connectivity

Location of equipment:

Lab at WINLAB / Rutgers University, North Brunswick, NJ
Lab at NICTA, Alexandria, NSW, Australia
Clearinghouse will be located in WINLAB.

Layer 3 connectivity

WINLAB has existing IP connectivity and public addresses that will also be used for GENI. NICTA layer 3 connectivity is TBD.

Layer 2 connectivity

WINLAB will connect layer 2 to MAGPI East in Philadelphia. Additional fiber infrastructure is needed; one piece has been acquired, one is in place, and a third is planned for completion March 1. Rutgers has an existing connecton to MAGPI East in Philadelphia. Connection to NLR or Internet2 TBD.

NICTA plans connection via Australian Advanced Research Network to a PoP in Seattle, with possible connectivity to Internet2 and NLR. Possible DCN for GENI virtual ethernet connection. Details TBD.
