  2. Project Summary • UMLPEN aims to provide a unique programmable virtualizable edge node based on network processors • General-purpose multicore on host and programmable multicore NPs at NIC level • Dynamically configurable virtual NICs instantiated by NPs • Virtual nodes based on light-weighted OpenVZ virtualization technology on the host • Extensible functionalities offloaded to the NPs at NICs • UMLPEN has been integrated in ProtoGENI control framework • Customized scripts for management and configuration of virtual NICs and virtual container • Flash interface based resource and experiment management • Demos of the integration and experiments were successful at GECs • UMLPEN has L2 VLAN connectivity in Spiral 2 • The CANS lab on UMass Lowell campus has established a L2 VLAN connection to regional network NOX at Boston • We are collaborating with Florida Intl. Univ.for an inter-campus VLAN connectivity • UMLPEN team collaborates with academia and industry • Work with FIU on high performance conduit simulation and experiments on social-aware CDN • Work with Extreme Networks on OpenFlow-capable switches and plan campus deployment for 4Q10 Aug 25, 2010

  3. Milestone & QSR Status Aug 25, 2010

  4. Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals • Integration with ProtoGENI and enhancing UMLPEN functionalities • Updated with the latest ProtoGENI development software • Improved users templates and scripts • More functionalities (clock sync, packet capture) offloaded onto NP at NIC level • Successful demos at GECs • Continuous Experimentation • Established a dedicated L2 VLAN connection to prepare for large scale experiments • Successful ping test from CANS lab on UML campus to BBNBoston campus via NOX • Planning inter-campus VLAN connection with FIU • Design of large scale experiments with FIU’sPrimoGENI team • Meso-scale Buildout • Planning a campus level deployment of OpenFlow switches • Currently working with Extreme Networks on development of OpenFlow-capable switches Aug 25, 2010

  5. Accomplishments 2:Other Project Accomplishments • Outreach • Gave a seminar talk titled “Science and Engineering Issues in Network Virtualization” at UMass Amherst • Advised 6 undergraduate students supported by REU grant. • International collaborations • Gave seminar talks at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and Shanghai Jiaotong University during the summer 2010. • Collaborations with a research group in BUPT on virtual network embedding • Publications related to GENI • Yan Luo, Eric Murray, Timothy Ficarra, Accelerated Virtual Switching with Programmable NICs for Scalable Data Center Networking, ACM SIGCOMM Virtualized Infrastructure Systems and Architectures (VISA) Workshop, New Delhi, India, Sept 3, 2010 • Yan Luo, Network I/O Virtualization for Cloud Computing, Accepted by Special Issue on Cloud Computing of IEEE IT Professional, to appear 2010. Aug 25, 2010

  6. Issues • Technical and coordination challenges in establishing, testing, debugging VLAN connection • Involving many parties • Sometimes progress was slow • Limited funding on graduate students • Many new workloads were not expected during budget and contract negotiation time in 2008 • More student hours were actually put on the project than the budgeted Aug 25, 2010

  7. Plans • What are you plans for the remainder of Spiral 2? • Push the inter-campus VLAN connectivity testing • Prepare for continuous experiment • Prepare for tutorial at GEC9 • The GPO is starting to formulate goals for Spiral 3. What are your thoughts regarding potential Spiral 3 work? • Integration with ProtoGENI (a moving target) • Design and conduct realistic experiments using multiple GENI aggregates (e.g. UMLPEN and PrimoGENI) • OpenFlow campus deployment and experimentation • Tutorial, documentation, outreach Aug 25, 2010
