Scope
The scope of work on this project is to extend ORCA (a candidate GENI control framework) to include the optical resources available in https://ben.renci.org BEN metro optical testbed. Also, to make a reference implementation of ORCA available to additional GENI prototypes and assist, with limited support, in the integration of ORCA into select wireless/sensor prototypes. The team will operate a clearinghouse for the various testbeds under the ORCA control framework. Also, connect with the NLR backbone network FrameNet service to facilitate end-to-end VLAN's connections into BEN. Finally, make the integrated (VLAN connections and control framework) ORCA/BEN infrastructure available to external researchers by the end of Year-1.

Note: GENI - ORCA website certificate is signed by the RENCI Root CA, and not by a commercial authority. It will typically raise an exception or warning in your browser. You can add RENCI Root CA as a trusted authority in your browser RENCI Root CA certificate. Alternatively, you can create an exception for the site to accept its certificate as is. Or, you may be able to continue to the website if you accept the warning.

Spiral 1 Connectivity
Please include 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. May also include ticket links for pending or known connectivity issues. Many projects will have a full tree of wiki pages here.
ORCA clearinghouse equipment location: RENCI, 100 Europa Drive, Chapel Hill, NC.
ORCA clearinghouse will use RENCI public IP addresses.
There is no requirement for ORCA equipment at Duke (or Infinera). However, tentative plans for demonstration VLANs ORCABEN: 1e Complete end-to-end VLAN connections between BEN and NLR may include the ORCA lab at Duke. NLR FrameNet connections to RENCI and Duke are tentatively planned for these demos.
BEN equipment is located per the "BEN GENI Substrate Description", 2008 drawing.
External connectivity to BEN done per Fig 3 of "BEN GENI Substrate Description", 2008 drawing.
BEN node at RENCI has 10 GigE connection to NLR FrameNet.
BEN node at RENCI uses RENCI production router for connections to commodity Internet, Internet2 and NLR (via NCREN).
BEN IP addresses should be added to this page.
