Meso-Scale in the backbones • Internet2 and NLR installing 5 OpenFlow switches in

each backbone (HP ProCurve and possibly a second vendor)

• NLR 3-node backbone live for GEC8 demo

• ProtoGENI installing additional nodes (2 or more) in Internet2 and integrating prototype OpenFlow

• GENI layer 2 data planes starting to appear across backbones, regionals and campuses

– ION, FrameNet and custom network engineering "stitching" VLANs

– ORCA, IGENI demonstrating dynamic VLANs at GECs

– NLR and I2 10Gpbs layer2 interconnect at Atlanta

• ShadowNet: installing 3 Juniper M7i routers for measurements in I2 PoPs this year

• Find updates through GENI wiki Spiral Two page (http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/SpiralTwo)

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 today @ 3:00 (during break)

• See GENI wiki for updates

OpenFlow Deployment Roadmap

OpenFlow integration status• Site upgrades to OpenFlow 1.0

• Integration between campuses is happening! (http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC8DemoSummary

• 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)

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!
