Experimenter Feedback:Adaptive Source RoutingAshish Vulimiri and Brighten GodfreyUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
What worked • We used: OpenFlow, PlanetLab, ProtoGENI • Resource documentation was helpful • No difficulty understanding what resources were available or how to use them • Porting • Project code was ported from earlier PlanetLab-only deployment • Port was straightforward • OpenFlow • Very easy implementation of a novel non-IP routing & forwarding protocol (pathlet routing), thanks to OpenFlow’s design and especially assistance from Niky Riga
Some suggestions • Centralized location for outage information • We were using multiple resources (OpenFlow, ProtoGENI, PlanetLab) • Hard to keep track of email • ProtoGENI images: use stable OS versions (e.g. FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE instead of 6.3-RC) • We needed to install third-party applications • Much easier to find packages for stable versions, esp. for old OS images
Some suggestions • Resource reservation tools (we used omni/gcf) could use more documentation • What commands are supported • Error messages • Note: comments are as of GEC9, may be out of date
