Internet2 Backbone Service Migration Internet2 10 Gbps MOU expires after GEC8 I2 GENI backbone transitioning from Ciena dedicated wave to Juniper 1GE shared links Separate 1 GE connections for each ProtoGENI and OpenFlow backbone node with transparent MPLS tunnels between nodes 1 GE connections for new ShadowNet nodes 1 GE ION link for access at each node for layer2 access Planned bandwidth exceeds current use, but GENI will grow quickly NLR GENI backbone unchanged except for OpenFlow deployment ION service also transitioned to Juniper for all I2 in July Open discussion in Room #1102 3:00 (during break) See GENI wiki for updates dwgs courtesy I2

OpenFlow Deployment Roadmap

OpenFlow integration status Site upgrades to OpenFlow 1.0 Integration between campuses is happening! ( Prototype Aggregate Manager + Opt-In Manger (BBN + Stanford) WiMax over OpenFlow (Rutgers + Stanford) Inter-campus access control and network policy management (Georgia Tech + Clemson) demonstrated between Rutgers and Stanford at GEC8 Aster*x network load balancing (UWA, BBN, Stanford) Prototype Aggregate Manager + Opt-In Manger (BBN + Stanford) Packet Level Redundancy Elimination and Mobile (Smartphones) Application Migration (UWI) Monitoring nationwide and campus deployments (Indiana University + NLR) Early layer2 engineering and testing underway (Rutgers ION to NICTA in Australia)

GENI Network Engineering

ShadowNet Deployment Roadmap

ShadowNet status On track to deploy 3 nodes in Internet2 this year Developing standalone control software to virtualize the Juniper platform Developing new Aggregate Manager First use of Juniper SDK in GENI Expect GEC9 demonstration

WiMAX Deployment Roadmap

WiMAX deployment status All nine sites have experimental license and have received outdoor kit (antenna, outdoor unit, fiber cable, etc.) from Rutgers/NEC Four sites have received and installed indoor kit (indoor unit, server with software, etc.), and are now doing integration tests, experiments and demos: Rutgers, Stanford, BBN, NYU Poly Five sites are still in the process of installing and bringing up their equipment: UC Boulder, Columbia, UMass Amherst, UCLA, Wisconsin

WiMAX operational status First GENI connections between WiMax sites demoed at GEC8 (Rutgers-BBN and Rutgers- Stanford) Four sites running integration tests, experiments and demos: Rutgers, Stanford, BBN, NYU Poly Next steps: – Complete integration demos, harden software package – Add monitoring to each site – Tie sites together for coordinated experiments – Evaluate range and throughput, for typical site, both omni and sector antennas, multiple types of clients

WiMAX installation at BBN Outdoors: – Omni antenna (on top) – NEC 120-degree sector antenna (aimed towards Boston) – Patch antenna – GPS antenna (for timing) – NEC Outdoor Unit (ODU) – Coax switching and power junction box Indoors: – NEC Indoor Unit (IDU) – Server with ASN GW and OMF software

MesoScale Summary Nationwide deployments on or ahead of schedule with a few exceptions Final sprint for Spiral 2 will be challenging Great cooperation between prototypers and campuses and many long hours for integration Thanks to MesoScale teams for their patience and enthusiasm! courtesy Appenzeller
