Transcript GENIConnections

Regional and Campus GENI
• Many projects with different needs
http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/SpiralTwo
and /GEC8DemoSummary
• All projects eventually enable experiments
between researchers and infrastructure
spanning multiple locations (usually
campuses)
• Most separate control, data, instrumentation
planes
•
Notable exceptions like Million Node GENI
(may not be exceptions in the long run)
http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/MillionNodeGENI
•
Network protocol experimentation makes
layer 2 connections important for many
projects
•
GENI campus connections in Spiral2 mostly
1Gbps, some 10Gbps, but will grow quickly.
•
About 75% of Quilt members already
support GENI projects. Role of regionals
expanding (e.g. GENI racks)

Meso-Scale in the backbones
•
Internet2 and NLR installing 5 OpenFlow switches in
each backbone (HP ProCurve and possibly a second
vendor)
Internet2
MX-960 conns
•
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

NLR
MesoScale in the Regionals
•
Plain old IP
•
Tunneling above layer 2 (GRE, OpenVPN)
•
Layer 2
–
Single VLAN (801.q tagged)
–
VLAN translation (Supported in ION, not
Sherpa/FrameNet)
–
Layer 2 tunneling (MPLS, QinQ) (DRAGON, OpenFlow)
–
Direct fiber to NLR or I2 backbone (ION, FrameNet)
–
Access via FrameNet/ION procedures (duration, bw
limits,first-come first-served)

DRAGON
•MAX, GpENI, TIED projects (may be others)
•Dynamic resource allocation via GMPLS-enabled control plane
•MAX supports sliced edge compute resources (myPLC) and network virtualization with a GENI
Aggregate Manager
•Layer 2 Ethernet switches with dedicated 1 GbE and 10GbE connections
•Layer 3 IP (management, control and general connectivity)
• Programmable network hardware — NetFPGA card installed in rack mounted PC
o acts as OpenFlow switch, programmable router, packet generator, etc.
o offers advanced measurement capabilities

ProtoGENI and ORCA
• ProtoGENI backbone (5 locations in I2)
–
Current nodes on 10 GE dedicated connections to
Infinera GENI wave
–
Moving to 1 GE ION links between nodes in August
(stay tuned)
–
Campuses access via IP, ION or dedicated layer2
(through regional)
• ORCA clearinghouse uses NLR backbone
in Spiral 2
–
Campuses connect via FrameNet, iGENI, and
regional optical networks
–
Dynamic VLAN allocation
–
ORCA broker plans to eventually support many
mixed connection types

OpenFlow Deployment Roadmap
Clemson OpenFlow Example
Multiple layer 2 & 3 connections
VLAN 3711 connects BBN and Clemson via NLR, SoX and NoX.
