GENI Federation Scenarios and Requirements Sangjin Jeong (ETRI) Andy Bavier (Princeton Univ.) March 18, 2010 Control Framework WG meeting @ GEC7
Objective • Discuss the scenarios and requirements for GENI federation in several contexts
Motivation • Objective • Resource federation permits the interconnection of independently owned and administered facilities so that users can create slices and perform experiment while allowing the facilities owners to enforce their local policies for operation, allocation and usage for facilities • Motivation • Use their own control frameworks for managing testbeds • Hard to build large-scale testbed in the global scale • Federation can provide large scale, diverse, and realistic network testing environment • Resources must be able to appear and be useful on more than one testbed • Increase utilization/resource diversity rather than exclusive use
Problem description • Classification of federation problems • Different identity/authority management • Identity allocation/authorization policy • Authentication and authorization mechanism • Different control procedures • Control flows (resource discovery/allocation, slice creation, ...) • Different interfaces/APIs • Different resources and experiments description • Resource description schemes (syntax, context, entity, …) • Description of experiments, services, experimental results

Federation requirements • Common interfaces or adapters for different control procedures • Common interfaces or adapters for authority services • Unified profiles for certificate and authority management • Common resources and experiments description schemes • Common data access interfaces • Policy agreement on resource usage
Next steps • There are increasing interest in investigating testbed federation scenarios and issues, requirements • Within the scope of control framework WG? • Adopt WG work item? • Documentation may be necessary • Federation scenarios & requirements • Develop standard interfaces and adapters? • …
