Outline • Review all Substrate Technologies* • Embedded Measurements* • Milestones • Suggested External Measurements • Desired Attributes: networking • Desired Attributes: reconfiguration and programmability • An example case * Based on the “Spiral-1 Substrate Catalog” GPO, J. Jacob.
Measurements • Embedded Measurements: Readily available at the multi-purpose nodes (network nodes, other boxes) where transparency is dependent on the manufacturer’s design. Access is sometimes restricted to only through the vendor’s API where there is no direct access to the sensors (refer to GIMS). • External Measurements: Depending on needs assessment in a GENI control framework, external measurement instruments are investigated.
Example Embedded Measurements • Adva FSP 3000: • Optical performance monitoring • SONET/SDH, physical layer , service availability • PM threshold setting • PM threshold crossing alerts • FEC counters • SNMP traps for alarm monitoring • Fault Management • Ethernet,RS-232 serial cable, SNMP, remote management via in-band channels • Infinera DTN: • Full digital access to the optical layer and performance monitoring, fault management. • Ethernet- based craft interface, remote connection via the in-band management channel carried by the Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) Ciena CN 4200: • Bit error rate, optical power • Protocol specific performance monitoring (Remote Monitoring (RMON) for Ethernet connections) • Performance monitoring on network services 2 x 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports for remote connectivity, and a RS-232 serial port for local craft access Proto-GENI & BEN Mid-Atlantic Network GpENI

Milestones Milestones Delivered • Review all substrate technologies in spiral-1 • Document embedded measurement capabilities As more substrate input is delivered to the substrate workgroup, we will revisit these deliverables. Future Milestones • Identify external measurement equipment due May 30th 2009 • Describe the network connections for external measurements due August 31st , 2009
Some Notes on Embedded Measurements • Control frameworks have been busy with preparing for the first prototype implementations. • Embedded measurements (that are included in our report) are not all available in prototype implementations: • Integration of measurement resources as components into the aggregate manager may not be present. • Need-assessment for the embedded measurements has not been a priority. • Most embedded measurements have been in the control plane serving layer 2/3 monitoring needs.

Desirable Attributes Networking of Instruments Re-configuration & Programmability Configure measurement parameters Re-program a measurement resource Slice a measurement instrument for multiple user access • Remote access mechanisms • Flexible API to interface with the aggregate managers across GENI • Storage
Networking of External Measurement Instruments • Remote access mechanisms: Ethernet, USB, other – include a computer (server) at each instrument site • Interface to the instrument: (programmable) vendor API/drivers – couple with GENI control frameworks • Planetlab interface, rspecs • ORCA interface, NDL • ProtoGENI interface, Emulab • Storage (experiment execution – data collection and analysis*): on-instrument, on-network, local, at researcher’s access point, ??? * “Lifecycle of a GENI Experiment”, GPO, V. Thomas.
Re-configuration of External Measurements • Configure measurements as you can register/plan (resource discovery, tool discovery, etc.)* an experiment – what parameters are measured at which measurement resource at what granularity. • E.g.: • optical power per wavelength channel, • at input of Infinera DTN at UH for the link between UH and Rice, • at a sampling frequency of 60 Hz. • Reconfiguration availability: e.g. change sampling rate (need to know the range of configuration) * “Lifecycle of a GENI Experiment”, GPO, V. Thomas.
Programmability of External Measurements • Re-program a measurement resource according to what your analysis requirements dictate: • Local analysis and then report instead of continuous raw data reporting • Upload custom measurement software to instruments • Slicing of a measurement instrument similar to a resource being sliced – multiple researchers can access the same or different measurement parameters at the same time
