11. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 11 July 27, 2011 Today’s meso-scale GENI Layer 2 slices span campuses, Internet2, and NLR Each VLAN contains ~ 25 OpenFlow switches and 40+ computers (PlanetLab & ProtoGENI) OpenFlow / FlowVisor manages slices within a VLAN Ongoing federated ops (8 campuses, 2 backbones, GMOC), each organization with its own operators, policies, etc. Now shaking down large-scale slices

12. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 12 July 27, 2011 PlanetLab, ProtoGENI, OpenFlow resources spanning multiple campuses, Internet2, & NLR Want to plug your campus in? Send email: help@geni.net

13. 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 http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/PlasticSliceshttp://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/PlasticSlices Conclusions –Most shakedowns ran as expected, but –Longer experiments are harder –Shakedowns improve mesoscale GENI –....and should continue after GEC11
