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!
