| 36 | == Scope == |
| 37 | |
| 38 | This effort will integrate PlanetLab (PLC), PlanetLab Europe (PLE), |
| 39 | PlanetLab Japan (PLJ)-along with other testbeds in Korea, Brazil, |
| 40 | Europe, Japan, and the US-into an international federated research |
| 41 | infrastructure. We will deploy and use the federation mechanisms |
| 42 | developed as part of the PlanetLab cluster currently funded by the |
| 43 | GPO, and focus our attention on the policy issues that arise when |
| 44 | autonomous organizations federate their networks together. Funding is |
| 45 | requested for Princeton (the prime) along with Université Pierre et |
| 46 | Marie Curie (UPMC) and the University of Tokyo (subcontractors), which |
| 47 | will drive the effort, but multiple testbeds will be federated with |
| 48 | the support of this proposal. The effort will focus on resolving the |
| 49 | policy issues related to federation-Princeton, UPMC, and the |
| 50 | University of Tokyo already have funding to perform the necessary |
| 51 | engineering work to build the mechanisms required by federation. |

| 55 | === Milestones === |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Due January 1, 2010 |
| 58 | Create federated slice using SFA machinery across PLC, PLE, and PLJ. Assume minimal peering policy based on sliver count. Users interact with system using SFI command-line tool. Assume pair-wise peering among these three organizations. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Due April 1, 2010 |
| 61 | Demonstrate new policy engine (based on sfa_tables) by introducing richer peering policies; e.g., white-lists and black-lists. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | Due July 1, 2010 |
| 64 | Demonstrate hierarchical (not pair-wise) peering by including VINI, M-Lab, and G-Lab in the federation. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Due September 30, 2010 |
| 67 | Demonstrate GUI-based interface as alternative to SFI command-line interface. |
