Project Technical Documents

Background Reading
Virtualization Technologies: XEN and OpenVZ
In this project, we choose to use OpenVZ for its virtualization of network stacks and moderate isolation.

Network Processors: IXP2850 and Acceleration-cards
Network processors (NPs) are multicore multithreaded processors optimized for network packet processing.

Quarterly Status Reports

4Q08 Status Report

Spiral 1 Connectivity

The earliest connectivity requirement will be towards the end of year 1. The PEN deployment will either be located in UML labs or within one of the GENI substrate infrastructure networks. This will be determined during the year. IP connectivity between the PEN node and the UML lab (if they are not colocated) will be required after deployment. Layer 2 virtual ethernet connections are not required. Updates on this deployment decision can be monitored through the milestone UMLPEN: Deployable PEN available.
