'''Scope'''

The scope of work on this project is to extend the Orbit Control, Management and Measurement Framework (OMF) 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.

'''Spiral 1 Connectivity'''

Location of equipment:  [[BR]]
	Lab at WINLAB / Rutgers University, North Brunswick, NJ[[BR]]
	Lab at NICTA,  Alexandria, NSW, Australia[[BR]]
        Clearinghouse will be located in WINLAB.[[BR]]

Layer 3 connectivity[[BR]]
        WINLAB has existing IP connectivity and public addresses that will also be used for GENI.  
        NICTA layer 3 connectivity is TBD.
	
Layer 2 connectivity[[BR]] 

        WINLAB will connect layer 2 via Rutgers infrastructure.  Additional private fiber/infrastructure is needed to reach Rutgers;  schedule TBD.  Rutgers has an existing connecton to MAGPI East in Philadelphia.  Connection to NLR or Internet2 TBD. [[BR]]
	

        NICTA plans connection via [http://www.aarnet.edu.au/ 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.
