Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 7 July 27, 2011 What’s new for GENI experimenters Tools are becoming more capable and easier to use. Point-and-click tools (e.g., Flack *, sface † ) Command-line tools (e.g., omni*, gush †, raven † ) Built-in tool support for multi-aggregate slices –Flack * support for connectivity via GRE tunnels, ION, and GpENI ‡, instrumentation via INSTOOLS † –Gush † and Raven † support mixed PlanetLab and ProtoGENI host configurations –Coming: stitching Experiment Templates “Standard” experiment designs that provide a starting place for many potential experiments Hands-on tutorials give experience with these templates (Tutorials: *Tuesday, † Wednesday, ‡ Thursday)

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 13 July 27, 2011 Ops shakedown via “Plastic Slices” Why? As mesoscale GENI moves towards production, exercise it with “plastic” experiments that represent constant regular use. (No real experimenters were harmed.) What? Ran 8 baselines over 2 months, with representative traffic flows. Used resources from campus OpenFlow and PlanetLab aggregates in 10 slices. GMOC and sites used early operations procedures. –Details & data at Conclusions –Most shakedowns ran as expected, but –Longer experiments are harder –Shakedowns improve mesoscale GENI –....and should continue after GEC11
