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.

Spiral 2 Connectivity

Location of equipment:

ORBIT Lab at WINLAB, Rutgers University, North Brunswick, NJ
NORBIT 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 has existing IP connectivity and public addresses that will also be used for GENI. .

Layer 2 connectivity - final

See diagram
Current Layer 2 connectivity from Ruthers/WINLAB to NICTA via Internet 2 and AARNET: http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ORBIT/ORBIT-NICTAGENIv2.jpg
