7 cluster 5 10 PCs mgt. L4: PlanetLab L3: prog. routers site-specific GbE switch arbitrary interconnection VLAN connectivity to GENI Ciena optical switch L1 interconnection Node Cluster prog. routers XORP, click, PlanetLab GENIwrap control framework GbEn et Ciena optical manageme nt & control GENI VLANs site specific KUAR, sensor, Campus net Internet optical backbone to Internet2 and KC SPP then to Mid-Atlantic Net 03 April

8 Initial Capabilities and Technology Roadmap Programmability at all layers Quickly available to the community private PlanetLab experiments as soon as connected GUSH tools when available Development and integration of layers experiments PlanetLab VINI,XORP,Click Ciena Spiral development toward new integrated platforms processor(s) to deploy evolving platforms open access to research and experimentation community scalable per cluster and number of clusters others invited to install and run L3 7 clusters 03 April

9 Physical Topology and Network Infrastructure Physical topology to Smith Ctr. KS (eventual link to CO) CCD C42 Gp ENI multiwavelength optical backbone current or imminent deployment 4 universities in 3 states 1 switch/year with current funding new nodes Ciena CoreDirector Ciena CN4200 node cluster patch WTC fiber C C42 Gp ENI Power Plant C-band n λs Rathbone KSU KS KU/Qwest fiber SFBB fiber Ellsworth C C-band n λs C42 Nichols splice Gp ENI KU KS KU/Qwest fiber Qwest POP KC MO UNL NE Gp ENI Avery Scott Center KU/Qwest fiber dark fiber CCD Internet2 POP KC MO 2 λs UNL (L3) fiber MOREnet fiber 4 λs C42 Gp ENI Newcomb Ethernet Flarsheim UMKC MO 03 April

10 Fiber mostly deployed Deployment Current Status tunnels temporarily bridging some segments First Ciena optical switch operational at UNL second switch may be installed at KU this year Node clusters operational and interconnected need to sort out many network engineering issues: DNS: *. institution.gpeni.net IP: /24 from KanREN Initial integration with Planetlab control framework integration with DRAGON optical control framework underway integratoin with VINI, XORP, and Click beginning 03 April
