    v9 v10  
    7474  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-001-d''': The slicer MAY disable slices which it thinks are misbehaving, but it MUST notify the slice owner.  Re-enabling the slice MAY require operator intervention.  It MUST be possible for operators to configure the slicer to avoid automatic disabling of slices.
    7575 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-002''': The slicer MUST NOT prevent metric collection for GENI operational monitoring.  The slicer MAY provide administrative interfaces to operational monitoring data.  The slicer MAY provide the ability to support read-only controllers for the full slicing space which require manual approval.
    76  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-003''': The slicer MUST be able to support ''x'' with ''x''>1 concurrent slices of a substrate of ''y'' with ''y''>1 network devices which are passing traffic.
    77  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-004''': The slicer MUST allow for slices to be added and removed without disrupting other slices.
    78  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-005''': The slicer MUST have some logging mechanism for tracking important operational events.
    79  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-006''': The slicer MUST NOT cause operational issues with things like disk usage.
    80   * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-006-a''': The slicer MUST NOT log excessive information which is not generally useful during default operations.
    81   * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-006-b''': The slicer SHOULD support different log levels or enabling of additional debugging logs, and that SHOULD be possible to change while the software is running.
    82   * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-006-c''': The slicer SHOULD continue to log properly in the event that its logs are rotated.
    83  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-007''': The slicer MUST ensure that substrate-generated traffic that doesn't belong to a slice (e.g. LLDP, CDP, etc) does not overwhelm the control plane.  This can be satisfied by '''OF-OPR-SLCR-FN-002''' provided that the slicer doesn't install flows administratively that allow for this problem to occur.
    84  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-008''': The slicer SHOULD have a mechanism to prevent packet-ins coming from the switches from overwhelming the control plane when a controller is disconnected from the slicer.  This could involve disabling a slice that sends too much control plane traffic, removing flows within a slice that have an output action to the controller port, or something else.  The slicer SHOULD NOT indiscriminately disable a slice when the controller disconnects, as a disconnected controller could be part of an experimenter's test case.
    85  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-009''': When a slice is created or deleted the slicer MUST clear out flow tables of switches for the corresponding VLANs of that slice.
     76 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-003''': The slicer SHOULD provide some information about its own data for GENI operational monitoring (e.g. number of slices, software version, etc).
     77 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-004''': The slicer MUST be able to support ''x'' with ''x''>1 concurrent slices of a substrate of ''y'' with ''y''>1 network devices which are passing traffic.
     78 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-005''': The slicer MUST allow for slices to be added and removed without disrupting other slices.
     79 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-006''': The slicer MUST have some logging mechanism for tracking important operational events.
     80 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-007''': The slicer MUST NOT cause operational issues with things like disk usage.
     81  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-007-a''': The slicer MUST NOT log excessive information which is not generally useful during default operations.
     82  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-007-b''': The slicer SHOULD support different log levels or enabling of additional debugging logs, and that SHOULD be possible to change while the software is running.
     83  * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-007-c''': The slicer SHOULD continue to log properly in the event that its logs are rotated.
     84 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-OP-008''': The slicer MUST ensure that substrate-generated traffic that doesn't belong to a slice (e.g. LLDP, CDP, etc) does not overwhelm the control plane.  This can be satisfied by '''OF-OPR-SLCR-FN-002''' provided that the slicer doesn't install flows administratively that allow for this problem to occur.

    9495 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-SW-007''': Updates to or restarts of the slicer SHOULD NOT destroy existing configuration without explicit slice owner approval.  Restarts and upgrades also SHOULD NOT disrupt the flow tables of the switches.
    9596 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-SW-008''': The software should be ready for first attempted production deployments in GENI (meeting all requirements) within three months.
     97 * '''OF-OPR-SLCR-SW-009''': The software developers should maintain documentation on how to recover from any known potential or experienced error cases as they are discovered.
