• Asian GpENI partners– 3 nations– 5 research institutions– 25 nodes– more under discussion



GpENINode Cluster Status1

• Midwest backbone nodes– PlanetLab and VINI operational– UNL switch installed; KU switch this year

• GENI interconnection– physical connection to ProtoGENI in KC I2 POP– connection to MAX– L2TPv3 tunnel to GMOC: gmoc.gpeni.net



GpENINode Cluster Status1

• International nodes– Connectivity to the UK tunneled to and through Lancaster

• Cambridge and Lancaster nodes up

– Connectivity to Switzerland tunneled through Bern• Bern, ETH Zürich (coming up), Uni Zürich (soon)

– Connectivity to Nordic nations• tunneled to Simula NO and Tampere FI (node clusters up soon)

– Connectivity to Austria and Germany• Wien, KIT, Passau (soon)

– Connectivity to ERNET next• IIT Guwahati soon

– other nodes in various states of procurement and installation



GpENIAggregate Status: PlanetLab

• PlanetLab sub-aggregate (KSU)– MyPLC 4.3– GENIwrapper 8.5 SFA– federated with Princeton PLC

• OpenFlow integration under investigation • Loop demo publicly available (but still fragile)• PlanetLab / VINI sub-aggregate integration

– currently working on integrated portal• will permit topology control of GpENI PlanetLab slices

– status of Princeton PL/VINI integration?



GpENIAggregate Status: Programmable Router

• Programmable router sub-aggregate (UMKC)• VINI installed

– UMKC will be beta site for 5.0 to unify with PlanetLab

• Quagga running, tested with OSPF and Zebra– currently working on sliceability

• XORP integration underway• Integrating topology creation in map demo



GpENIAggregate Status: DCN Optical Control Plane

• Optical switch sub-aggregate (UNL)– UNL switch installed; KU next

• DCN running on Ciena CoreDirectorand Netgearswitch

• Connectionestablished toMAX through ProtoGENI– interdomain

DCN



GpENIStatus: Overall Management

• Overall management, monitoring, administration (KU)• L2TPv3 tunnels coming up

– complex planning given meager funding– working with European partners to provide fanout

• UK, Switzerland, Austria/Germany, Nordic/Russia, Asia

• International optical discussions soon• Nagios management interface begin developed• GMOC node cluster installed

– should provide integration with overall GENI monitoring

• TRIDENTCOM 2010 paper to appear



GpENIStatus: Application and User Community

• Tools– experiment control: Gush running now– code deployment: Raven running now– suggestions for other tools welcome

• User access– Limited access to wider community; Web-based request form– Seattle running

• GpENI community will likley be the first real users– FIND PoMo, EU FIRE ResumeNet, project clearinghouse soon– …but others welcome (build it and they will come?)

• the road to hell is paved with unused testbeds



GpENICritical Next Steps and Issues

• Integration of sub-aggregates– GpENI PlanetLab/VINI common portal under development– Princeton PlanetLab/VINI merge?– MAX aggregate manager for DCN unification

• Users and Experiments– start actually using Gush and Raven– GpENI project clearinghouse

• Funding profile insufficient to build out infrastructure– only partial and slow deployment of Ciena optical switches– enterprise routers needed for proper L2TPv3 tunneling fanout

any router vendors want to contribute? (your logo here)
