:: DNA4.3: Mid-term Report on Dissemination, Concertation and Training Activities This document summarises the dissemination and training activities undertaken by the FEDERICA project in Months 1-18.	download - 1,4 MB
SA Activities
:: DSA1.1: FEDERICA Infrastructure (Updated after first review) SA1, being one of the key activities within the FEDERICA project, aims to specify and deploy the whole FEDERICA’s network physical infrastructure, including the V-nodes and the non-core network equipment, and to define the process for allocating those physical resources into virtual slices. The monitoring architecture for this network is also a responsibility of this service activity. The present document describes the technical choices that were made and addresses the issues that led to them. Final remarks are given regarding the next steps to be taken.	download - 6,7 MB
:: DSA1.2: Update on the FEDERICA Infrastructure SA1, being one of the key activities within the FEDERICA project, aims to specify and deploy the whole FEDERICA’s network physical infrastructure, including the V-nodes and the non-core network equipment, and to define the process for allocating those physical resources into virtual slices. The monitoring architecture for this network is also a responsibility of this service activity. The present document describes the technical choices that were made and addresses the issues that led to them. Final remarks are given regarding the next steps to be taken.	download - 6,7 MB
:: DSA2.1: Users Support This deliverable DSA2.1: “User Support” describes the “support tools” that are available to users from the initial contact via FEDERICA’s Web based User Portal to request an IP slice, through to the mechanisms to access the created slice. It also includes a summary of the Use Policies with which users must comply. The deliverable also describes the associated internal operations that follow the approval of the request, in terms of how the support is organised, the tools that are available (for use by the FEDERICA NOC and the user) and the educational material and training courses that are available. This document was planned to be the first deliverable from the Service Activity SA2, but in practice, it was found to be necessary to first install the infrastructure with the associated management and monitoring services for providing the IP slices (described in deliverable DSA2.2), before issuing information regarding the procedures, tools and services that enable users to access and use the network.	download - 278 KB
:: DSA2.2: IP slice service Prototype The deliverable SA2.2 IP slice service prototype contains a summary of the work down in the SA2.4 task. This task is focused on creating a tool which permits the end user to manage the IP configurations of an IP slice. To create this tool, the MANTICORE software is being enhanced with computer virtualisation and software router management capabilities. Currently MANTICORE is capable of creating and managing logical/physical Juniper routers.	download - 829 KB

:: DJRA2.2: Prototype for interoperability between IPsphere and MANTICORE This deliverable, DJRA2.2, is a software prototype. This document contains a summary of the efforts taken between the 3rd and 15th months of the FEDERICA project by the partners of the task TJRA2.3. The main objective of this activity is to establish a technical collaboration framework between FEDERICA and IPsphere in order to develop a prototype for integrating the MANTICORE software (based on the IaaS Framework, which is a descendant of the UCLPv2 project) in the IPsphere model. This prototyping work, its objectives, and its evaluation are described in this deliverable.	download - 3,2 MB
:: DJRA2.3: Virtual network architectures This deliverable DJRA2.3 ‘Virtual network architectures’ provides an update to the preliminary investigations of DJRA2.1 concerning the FEDERICA architectural principles, including the federated authentication, authorization and security aspects, the novel architectural paradigms foreseen by FEDERICA, as well as the fairness concepts related to the proposed business model for virtualised infrastructures in general. The deliverable also contains the validation of architectural principles in various experiments (e.g. software routing and flow-based virtualisation) towards defining and prototyping novel paradigms.	download - 3,4 MB
