We'd like to have a production version of NAT traversal included in the next release. The node manager and seash will need to be changed to support NAT traversal when appropriate.

The Measure Twice, Cut Once group should have the following finished by the end of the quarter:

• A coherent story for event / thread restrictions. This should be fully implemented and ready to go.

• any other remaining resource issues that need to be addressed.

The following things need be fixed:

• Fix transition scripts so that new nodes are correctly credited.

• Deployment scripts that run periodically and provide updated information.

• Software updater clean-up.

• Installer builder sanity checks.

• Document software updater testing process.

This autograder version will include (please add to list):

• Interface for creating / deleting assignments
• Web page with Geni portal style
• Assignments - Webserver, Stop and Wait
• Grade functions that report errors
• Database backend
• Generic assignment grading
• Unit tests for emualb and nm_client functionality

This is the second release of [wiki:TCUP TCUP] -- a TCP over UDP Repy library.

This release will include (please add to list):

• Closing TCP handshake
• Congestion control -- slow start, congestion avoidance
• Benchmarking programs to compare throughput of TCUP / TCP in Repy / TCP in Python
• Numerous new unit and integration tests

Not done:

• Multiplexing multiple TCUP connection over a single UDP socket
• (S)RTT estimation -- eliminates spurious early retransmission
• Packet timing using the TCP timestamp option

This milestone references the new geni portal that includes improvements and overhaul to the prior geni look.

Improvements include (please add to list):

• Ajax functionality to all GENI operations (this will pave the way towards creating an API for GENI)
• Parallel acquisition and release of vessels
• Contextual help pages
• New Look
• Django template inheritance
• Vessel flow computation and functioning sharing relationships
• Deployment script

The current unit testing system was adequate at the time of its creation, but is now an inefficiency in developing the Seattle software. An improved unit testing system would define standard protocols and conventions on which to run automated tests. As the project is seeing increasing exposure, it is crucial that we be able to easily run all unit tests to make sure that bugs are detected early and fixed before a general release.

This should be a useable version of the Autograder than can be deployed at least on a limited basis to some well known users for testing in a class environment. It will have...

• Interface for creating / deleting assignments
• Database backend - support multiple classes, assignments, etc
• Generic assignment grading
• Unit tests for emulab and nm_client functionality
• Help and example pages for students and course staff

The following need to be done for the production version:

* Determination of the size of the resources to use as offcut resources.

* Integration with the custom installer creator and the installers. 

* Thorough testing

A new version of the Custom Installer Builder.

Improvements include:

• Written in Python/Django instead of PHP.
• XML-RPC interface (used by SeattleGENI on the backend).
• Better user interface.
