4. Some Details NetFPGA In place by end of summer
2 Hosts, each with 3 NetFPGA boards
RLI Interface for loading circuit
Sample circuits
Delay …

5. Some Details SPP Data Path Stats Block
Integration of ONL-like stats block
Include Rx IP DAddr Index in NPE lookup key to fully identify MetaInterface in key.
Implement per slice buffer limit

6. Some Details SPP Control NAT SLM (Slice Login Manager): SSH Forwarding
SRM:
Hub Management using SNMP
Shelf Mgr SNMP interface for resetting individual boards
Booting and daemon coordination: poll devices for health
Implement port allocations for slices on GPEs (currently only fastpath)
GNM:
Periodic update of slice data
SLM config file
Per GPE RMP and NM
Proxy for PLCAPI calls
From bootmanager: node status calls
Report overall health to PLC
Handle debug state from PLC?
Distribute session key to GPEs so they can communicate directly with PLC
Proxy for NMAPI calls from PLC and slices
Forward PLC calls to correct GPE
Interpret tickets and location of resources

7. Some Details SPP Control (continued) Booting GPE Modify Node Manager
Modify bootmanager
Modify BootCD to include our config file
Modify Node Manager
Flow Stats aggregation and pl_netflow
Libc mods to request ports from srm
May not be necessary for first release
RMP and SCD
Slice endpoint/port allocations and adding filters to Linecard
Test RMP: tunnel API commands and queue manipulation commands
Adding/Removing fastpath filters
Reading stats
NAT
Adding interface to the MEs and packet handling
Port space management
SRM interactions
System testing
Development environment:
Upgrade to Planetlab 4.1 and fc8
Use vservers on cp

8. Some Details ONL 14 hosts don’t boot NSP NPR
Replace Filter Result without doing a Remove and Add
DONE: Removal of MCast Filter Fix and Testing
Create and copy pkts in Plugins
Ingress vs. Egress
NPR
Mart’s problem with ordered_signal.h
Init of signal does not appear to always work, adding code to the function helps
Drop Counters (not all are implemented)
Other Counters
Verify that everything is implemented
DONE: NPUB
Add UseRoute capability
DONE: Test Reclassify path
Plugin Tags, etc.
Performance Testing
Demo at GENI meeting in October
Workshop at a later GENI or similar meeting
