MAX.S3.f: Updated white paper on network stitching in GENI
(completed, due 8/19/2011)
- Provide an updated white paper on network stitching
- Document via web pages the various options and techniques for network stitching
- Participate in review discussion of this information via telecon.
- Provide assistance to others who are interested in applying or using network stitching as part of their activities.
Status:
We updated our extensive documentation on stitching in general and on a specific GENI Stitching Architecture. This included the following documents:
- GENI Stitching Description and Examples
- GENI Network Stitching Architecture - Overview
- This document provides an overview of a proposed stitching architecture.
- GENI Network Stitching Architecture - Example
- This document provides an example of the proposed architecture base on Use Cases.
- GENI Network Stitching Component Design - Example
- This document provides an example of a specific design for each of the architecture components. The intent is to convince ourselves that a detailed design can be develop to support the proposed architecture, not necessarily to define the final design details.
- GENI Network Stitching Schema Example
- This is an xsd file of an example Common Stitching Topology Schema.
- GENI Network Stitching RSPEC Instance Example
- The is an example instantiation of a Stitching Resource Element (Stitching RSPEC info) that an Aggregate would use to describe an external link to another aggregate. In this example, the MAX Aggregate is describing an external link to the ProtoGENI Aggregate. This Stitching RSPEC is in accordance with the above schema.
- The same Stitching RSPEC instance as above was also formatted in accordance with the ProtoGENI RSPEC v2 schema.
We also organized multiple teleconferences and worked with with various organizations and groups including ProtoGENI, PlanetLab, GPO, OpenFlow, and ORCA/BEN.
