1. ORCA-BEN I.Baldine, J.Chase

2. Progress so far Deployed ORCA into BEN Demonstrated provisioning of VLANs across BEN using ORCA Developed drivers for BEN network elements Developed NDL-OWL – Schema – BEN Substrate description – Developed Java-based toolkit to integrate NDL-OWL w/ ORCA Connected BEN to NLR FrameNet via RENCI and Duke Collaborated with Cluster D – Provided software releases – ORCA-fest – Provided integration document and future feature roadmap

3. Challenges Resource representation for heterogeneous substrates ‘Stitching’ of slivers into slices Connectivity issues – Delays in dealing with campus IT – Costs

4. Integration progress There is an integration document that outlines how projects of different types can choose to integrate Code releases – Tar-ball – Off-trunk SVN – Tagged SVN Clearinghouse will be stood up in July

5. Backbone connectivity NLR connectivity sorted out at two BEN PoPs – 10 VLANs available from NLR (only 2 so far remapped by Duke – work in progress) Working on achieving I2 DCN connectivity – Aiming for a IDC demo before 10/31/09; partner unknown – Costs are involved

6. Spiral 2 plans Ontological resource representation – Measurements (working w/ Keren Bergman) – Wireless (working w/ Cluster E and Cluster D) Generic solution to sliver stitching Introducing measurement devices into BEN and adding ORCA support Identity/trust management – Shib Cloud substrate and control Feature roadmap items
