GENI Spiral 1 Substrate infrastructure catalog

Dear PI's,

I would like to follow-up on a discussion from our recent substrate
working group session at GEC#3. As the substrate systems engineer, I am
working to catalog a broad set of technical details pertaining to the
spiral-1 substrate infrastructure. If your name and project appears in
the list below, it is because I believe that you are contributing
substrate infrastructure to GENI spiral-1 as part of your project. As
such, I am requesting some information from you. I would like to have
your initial response no later than Monday, Nov 24. If you feel that
your project either does not belong on this list or has been omitted
please notify me as soon as possible. Please note that a copy of this
email has been sent to the substrate-wg mailing list.

Enterprise GENI - Nick McKeown
GpENI - James Sterbenz
Mid-Atlantic Crossroads - Peter O'Neill
ORCA/BEN - Ilia Baldine
Measurement System - Paul Barford
CMU Testbeds - David Anderson
Vehicular Mobile Testbed - Brian Levine
Sensor/Actuator Network - Jim Kurose
Kansei Sensor Network - Anish Arora
Orbit Framework - Marco Gruteser
WiMAX - Dipankar Raychaudhuri
ProtoGENI - Robert Ricci
PlanetLab - Larry Peterson
DETER Trial Integration - John Wroclawski
SPP Overlay Hosting Nodes - Jon Turner
Programmable Edge Node  - Yan Luo

The following is a general list of topics I plan to cover in the Spiral
1 substrate capabilities catalog. There may be topic areas which cannot
be addressed at this time. Please respond to the extent you know the
information, note any caveats, and let me know which topics do not
apply. If some of this information is available on web sites you
maintain or found in existing documentation, please point me to that
information and I will extract the necessary information. All collected
information will be compiled into an MS Word document and will also
appear on each of your GPO established project wiki pages. As
information changes, you are encouraged to keep the GPO informed and I
will keep the document up-to-date.

1. Provide an overview of  the hardware systems in your contribution.
2. Discuss the GENI resources offered by your substrate contribution,
and how they are shared, programmed, and/or configured. Include in this
discussion to what extent you believe the shared resources can be isolated.
3. Provide an overview of the physical connections within the substrate
aggregate, as well as between the aggregate and the GENI backbones.
Identify to the extent possible, non-GENI equipment, services and
networks involved in these connections.
4. Identify the physical connections and  software interfaces for
integration into your cluster's assigned control framework
5. Identify any measurement capabilities, either embedded in your
substrate components or as dedicated external test equipment.
6. Describe any tools or services which may be available to users and
unique to your substrate contribution.

Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification on any of these items.

Thanks
John
