3) GEC8 demos
+ DICLOUD: yes; ticket
+ ViSE: yes; no ticket
+ DOME: no
+ IMF: yes
+ ORCA/BEN:
- OpenFlow demo RENCI and GIST Korea
- Programmable router, on multiple site hosts, practice for GEC9
+ Kansei: yes; un cross-site demo, sensor nodes and latency through + OKGEM: yes, possibly controllable robot + LEARN: Integration of 3400 into LEARN, at Univ Houston and Rice
4) GENI Solictation 3:
+ Ilia: Considering GENI racks
- Many Cluster D sites
- Each site with separate network connectivity
- Spaces in lab or university data center?
- Connectivity via many (10+) VLANs?
- Need good connectivity into sites
+ David: Space, power, cooling requirements for each rack?
- Ilia: 19" full height rack
- GENI enabled open-flow switches
+ Ilia: Purchased by project, sent out to each site
- Agreement with manufacturer, who sends it out.
- Harry: See current WiMAX mesoscale project
+ Ilia: Two CFs: ORCA and protoGENI Can be accessed by either
- Local interface, but also managed by central site (e.g., RENCI)
+ Ilia: How many sites? 40 racks too many for level of funding
- Perhaps 15 sites, each with one or two racks
- Need sites on the west coast
+ Ilia: Connectivity to backbone costs
- Campus?

- Harry: Srikanth also working on topic
Last call B) GEC9 demo proposals, accepted:
a) Joe (Northwestern): iGENI, HP and Ericsson: video transcoding on clouds over dynamically provisioned networks. Prototype at GEC8. HP wants to include OpenFlow.
b) David (UMass): Now-casting (short-term weather forcasting), GEC7 demo plus more computation
c) Jeff Chase (Duke): Dynamically stand-up ASs with custom click routers
