Project Summary

• Goal– Integrating a cyber-infrastructure for reconfigurable optical networking testbed (CRON) into

GENI control framework

• Objectives– Establishing networking connections and stabilizing experiment environments between CRON

and other ProtoGENI project sites (such as Utah, Kentucky, etc.) over Internet2.– Implementing common interfaces and a component manager based on GENI control

framework.– Deploying a federated operation and sharing integrating experience with ProtoGENI and other

GENI control framework groups.

Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals

• Integration– Integrated CRON resources with ProtoGENI resources

• Interoperability– CRON aggregate manager has been based on the ProtoGENI aggregate manager

which supports interoperability among different control frameworks

• Establishing a GENI measurement architecture– PIs have discussed about the collaboration with GENI measurement teams, such

as OnTimeMeasure from Ohio supercomputing center and perfSONAR from Univ. Delaware in order to embed those works into CRON testbed.

• Openflow switch– PIs purchased 1Gbps NetFPGA and are installing Openflow switch at CRON

testbed to support experimentations with Openflow switches. And they plan to extend the testbed with 10Gbps NetFPGA and Openflow switch at the end of 2010 when the boards are available.

Issues

• Regarding preparing integration tests among different federation sites,– Now each federation project seems to have an individual communication to other

projects to prepare federated tests in an ad-hoc way. It would be better to start to coordinate the federated tests among all federated projects together.

Plans

• What are your plans for the remainder of Spiral 2?– Integration of CRON into other GENI control frameworks with common aggregate

manages – Experimentations with GENI control frameworks over Internet2– Installation of Openflow switch over 10Gbps NetFGPA boards into CRON testbed– Installation of other instrumentation and measurement projects into CRON testbed.
