Demo 4: Splitting a Node (Interfaces)

Motivation

• Show hardware virtualization by assigning full control of one interface to a virtual machine
• Need to add access control in nodehandler for N0/N1 interfaces

Plan

• Run two experiments on one orbit node
• One experiment may communicate to one Planetlab node and one orbit node
  • Topology: Planetlab—Orbit1(AP)—Orbit2(client)
• The second experiment may connect to other Orbit nodes
  • Topology: Orbit(AP)—Orbit(1,2,3)

Status

(George-Jan 22)

• Obtained Xen and UML images from the Suman Banerjee's group
  • Installed UML on sandboxes
  • Getting the wireless interfaces to work
• Contacted Thierry Parmentelat working with OneLab​http://onelab-private.inria.fr/
  • Onelab aims to add these capabilities that do not existing in PlanetLab
    • Use multiple interfaces (wireless & wired)
    • Execute monitoring: passive monitoring and topology info components
    • Waiting for response
• Contacted Aki Nakao
  • Requested copy of Xen Slice (Xlice)
  • Waiting for response

Problems

• None at this point
