Poster Session - MAX Aggregate Manager, Federation and Stitching

The MAX project has constructed the "Mid-Atlantic Crossroads GENI (MAX GENI) Facility" which enables the MAX Regional Network resources to be made available for GENI experiments. This includes development of a MAX Aggregate Manager which integrates the dynamic provision of network and host based resources. The host based resources include PlanetLab node virtual slices. MAX Network Stitching capabilities allow the host resources to be stitched together with Ethernet VLANs. The MAX AM is also federated with PlanetLab Princeton and ProtoGENI. In addition, a separate instance of a MAX Aggregate Manager has been deployed to "cover" the Internet2 ION Network.

This combination of these capabilities now allows us to provide multi-aggregate sliver creation and stitching operations in response to Experimenters requests.

Poster Session - Multi-Aggregate Network Stitching

Demo participants:
Tom Lehman (USC/ISI)
Xi Yang (USC/ISI)
Abdella Battou (MAX)
Balu Pillai (MAX)

Seung-Jong Park (LSU)
Lin Xue (LSU)

In this demonstration we will show multi-aggregate stitching between the MAX and CRON Aggregates. This will include the provision of resources across the MAX Aggregate, CRON Aggregate, Internet2 ION, and LONI Regional network. In addition, we will describe this functionality in the context of the larger tree-mode multi-aggregate stitching architecture and implementation work underway. We will also show the incorporation of OpenFlow network regions into the overall stitching process.

Multi-Aggregate Network Stitching Demonstration

Demo participants:
Tom Lehman (USC/ISI)
Xi Yang (MAX)
Abdella Battou (MAX)
Balu Pillai (MAX)
Seung-Jong Park (LSU)
Chui-Hui Chiu (LSU)

In this demonstration we will show multi-aggregate stitching between the MAX and CRON Aggregates. This will include the provision of resources across the MAX Aggregate, CRON Aggregate, Internet2 ION, and LONI Regional network. Use of the MAX and ION Aggregate Managers which are now compatible with the GENIv3 RSpec formats will be demonstrated. This functionality will be described in the context of the larger multi-aggregate stitching architecture and implementation work underway. The OMNI Client will be used to coordinate Sliver creation across multiple aggregates as part of multi-aggregate slice stitching. Demonstration will include the cases where the Dynamic Circuit Network (DCN) networks in between the GENI Aggregates all have a GENI Aggregate Manager "covering" them, and the case where some (or all) of the DCN networks do not have a GENI AM API.

    GEC 14 Demo Overview

Below are the specific scenarios and RSpecs from this demo.

  • Create a single slice with stitching path across four aggregates (AMs): MAX--ION--LONI--CRON. A stitched, dedicated P2P VLAN connects compute resources from MAX to CRON.
  • GENI version 3 RSpec
  • MAX, ION and LONI have the same RSpec that describes stitching resources in all the four aggregates This is to comply with the GENI Stitching Architecture design. CRON is controlled by an Emulab / ProtoGENI style AM, which does not support the "longer" version of RSpec yet. cron.rspec only contains resource description for its local aggregate.
  • Alternatively we can perform this stitching by only using three AMs: MAX--ION--CRON, where the ION AM will create VLAN circuit across both ION and CRON by leveraging their inherent Dynamic Circuit Network (DCN) capability.

Stitching Demo Scripts

  • The simple demo scripts use hard-coded workflow to determine sequence of operations. This will be replaced by OMNI stitching library (libstitch) and possibly a standalone Stitching Workflow Service.
  • A script for four-AM stitching: demogec14.sh
  • A script for three-AM stitching: demogec14-alt.sh
  • Clean-up script: cleanup.sh

Multi-Aggregate Network Stitching Demonstration

We demonstrate four stitching scenarios.

  • Scenario A A single VLAN stitching path across MAX, ION and ProtoGENI with compute hosts attached at both ends with VLAN interfaces.
  • Scenario B The same stitching path as A but involving only two AMs. MAX AM will set up the MAX-ION as one DCN stitching segment.
  • Scenario C Two VLAN parallel stitching paths in one RSpec, each being attached to hosts at both ends.
  • Scenario D Two VLAN disjoint stitching paths in one RSpec, one path CRON--LONI--ION--MAX and the other PG--ION--MAX, both having hosts attached at both ends. ION AM will be responsible for setting up the ION--LONI DCN stitching segment.

Stitching Demo Scenario A

Stitching Demo Scenario B

  • A single RSpec for both MAX and PG aggregates: gec15-demo2.rspec
    • We can use one AM to setup a stitching segment spanning multiple aggregates only if all the involved aggregates are DCN capable.
    • To represent this request in stitching extension RSpec, we use an implicit rule in stitching path definition: There should be one and only one hop in the initiating aggregate to indicate the source of the DCN segment and the next hop should be in a remote aggregate as the destination of the DCN segment.
    • One catch is that the destination hop in remote aggregate can only be a network port/link, not a host interface. Otherwise, the AM at source cannot map the remote hop into a network port/link URN. Therefore RSpec in this scenario must have stitching path going from MAX-->PG direction because MAX AM sets up stitching segment starting from a host interface URN and spanning both MAX and ION.
  • Script for setting up MAX--PG stitching: gec15-demo2.sh
  • Example manifests generated by stitching:

Automated Network Stitching Across GENI Infrastructure Demonstration

For the first time we demonstrate fully automated GENI stitching across ProtoGENI networks, ION and InstaGENI racks. The new capabilities are highlighted below.

  • Stitching Computation Service (SCS) a) collects topology advertisement from GENI aggregates, b) serves client stitching computation requests via SCS API, c) computes stitching paths and workflow dependencies, and d) returns service RSepc with expanded stitching path and stitching workflow data.
  • Stitching Client API has been implemented by omni stitcher client code. The client supports sophisticated workflow logic by using SCS query, dependency tree iteration and crank back etc. functions.
  • Stitching aware GENI AM at all the participating aggregates. GENI Stitching Architecture is now supported via GENI AM API 2.0 and Stitching Extension 1.0 by all the ProtoGENI, InstaGENI and DCN GENI aggregates.
  • Client users can be stitching agnostic. No stitching extension is required in the original request RSpec. The stitcher client will consult SCS to add stitching extension when needed.

Advertisement RSepcs learned by SCS:

The following stitching paths are demonstrated.
