5. GEC3 – October 28-30, 20085 My role in this working group Frame issues from top-down through document development –Collect & frame issues –Collect input from group & revise Synthesize input from bottom-up –Test for & document consensus (or lack of it) –Take & distribute notes –Maintain wiki www.geni.net5

6. GEC3 – October 28-30, 20086 You are here. www.geni.net6 The substrate working group focuses on aggregates and their interfaces, with emphasis on the experiment plane

7. GEC3 – October 28-30, 20087 Plans Substrate WG Documents and Dates (Spiral 1) –Substrate Capabilities Summary (draft 11/16/08, final 5/1/09) –Substrate Capabilities based use-case(s) (draft 11/25/08, final 6/1/09) Derived from Capabilities Summary Substrate WG Documents and Dates (GENI Design) –Aggregate Subsystem Technical Description (draft 12/1/08, final 7/1/09) –Aggregate ICD (draft 1/16/09, final 8/1/09) Derived from Aggregate Subsystem Technical Description and Substrate Capabilities Summary www.geni.net7

8. GEC3 – October 28-30, 20088 How GPO system engineering works with working groups SE’s draft documents Internal GPO review Post publically –on wiki initially, repository up RSN Discuss doc on working group list –Possible one-on-one followups –Please send text Revision is posted –Repeat process www.geni.net8

9. GEC3 – October 28-30, 20089 1 st Substrate WG Deliverable Substrate Capabilities Summary (draft 11/16/08, final 5/1/09) What is it? –A comprehensive catalogue of spiral-1 substrate technologies –how they are connected –their relevance to GENI Why do we need it? –The substrate defines the experimentation domain of GENI we need a detailed view of the substrate as a whole –Critical input for GENI integrations (Lead by Heidi Picher Dempsey) –Produce detailed substrate technology coverage maps –Some non-substrate projects need to analyze Spiral-1 capabilities We will depend on those teams providing Spiral-1 substrates to produce the information that is the subject of this document. www.geni.net9

Virtual Tunnels All Spiral-1 Substrate Projects need to contribute information to the Substrate Capabilities Summary document.

12. GEC3 – October 28-30, 200812 Substrate Elements of an Aggregate Components and Subsystems “non-GENI” Networks and Nodes External Instrumentation Aggregate Specific Tools Aggregate Network Operations and Management All aggregates will have one or more of these elements All aggregates interface to the control framework (CF) via the aggregate manager –Native GENI on one interface (CF WG) –Box specific translations on the other interface (Substrate WG and aggregate projects) Aggregate Manager Identify and Describe all elements for each substrate aggregate project

13. GEC3 – October 28-30, 200813 Substrates and Networks Lab Campus Metro/Access Regional National Spiral-1 has GENI substrate projects located at all network scales –BUT…many substrate projects will need to transit non-GENI networks We must identify and describe ALL network connections and services for GENI end-to-end VLAN connections –May have physical details of intermediate networks boxes, interfaces, locations, routes… –May have no physical details of intermediate networks End-points, services, carriers,…

14. GEC3 – October 28-30, 200814 1 st Cut at Required Information List Overview of aggregate hardware components –Detail component description (Vendor, model, configuration, SW&P…) –Identification of GENI resources (what are you offering to the GENI researcher?) –Identification of non-GENI nodes and networks –Discussion on resource sharing and its isolation –Discussion on the use of resources (how are they configurable, programmable?) Overview of intra-aggregate data plane connections –Interface types (bandwidth, protocols, framing) Overview of inter-aggregate data plane connections –Interface types (bandwidth, protocols, framing) Overview of control plane connections –Identify host(s) of aggregate manager –Interface types (bandwidth, protocols, framing) Overview of aggregate services –Description of tools and configuration services –Host(s) and connections for user-helper tools/configurations Overview of measurement resources –Discussion of external test equipment resources Connections, bandwidths, interfaces –Discussion of internal measurement resources Access to information –Discussion of measurement resource sharing –Discussions of measurement resource configuration, programmability Initial user-readable drafts of R-specs
