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?
  • Regional networks?
  • Perhaps: FrameNet wherever possible, otherwise Starlight

+ Ilia: working toward translation from protoGENI to NDL

  • 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
