3. The VLSR can be configured to be responsible for one or more network elements which in the DCN deployment are the Ciena Core Directors VLSR based dynamic provisioning across Core Director topologies is based on mapping Ethernet edge ports to variable capacity SONET circuits The VLSR can also be utilized to control various types of Ethernet switches to construct dynamic circuits via automated VLAN based configurations e NARB Network Aware Resource Broker RCE Resource Computation Engine This control plane component includes the multi domain multi level Path Computation Element PCE and Inter Domain routing capabilities e DRAGONMon DRAGON Monitor This control plane element monitors the status of existing LSPs Label Switch Paths and stores in a MySQL database for access by other systems A web based display of current provisioned circuits is also included DRAGONMon software is not included in the current distribution It will be included as part of the next release 1 3 Downloading the DRAGON Software The DRAGON software is distributed as part of the DCN Software Suite It can be downloaded at e https wiki internet2 edu confluence display DCNSS After downloading the DCN software suite you may unpack it with the following commands oe gunzip den software suite 0 3 tar gz tar xvf dcn software suite 0 3 tar oe This will create a directory called dcn software suite 0 3 The DRAGON software is located in the sub
4. To run NARB you must have installed the dragon software suite After configuration use usr local dragon bin dragon sh start narb to start the service To start NARB separately use usr local dragon bin run_narb sh 6 Prior to use NARB RCE configuration files will need to be edited to reflect a specific network topology There are three documents located in the narb sw doc directory e Network Aware Resource Broker NARB and Resource Computation Engine RCE Architecture narb rce architecture v2 1b pdf e Network Aware Resource Broker NARB Design and User Manual Document narb design user manual v2 1b pdf e Resource Computation Element RCE Design and User Manual rce design user manual v2 1b pdf These documents contain detailed configuration instructions In addition these documents contain a detailed set of installation instructions for those who would like to tailor their installation parameters beyond the default installation instructions presented above The DRAGON NARB RCE includes capabilities for several features and modes of operation which are controlled via configuration files This includes features for InterDomain Routing Path Computation and Signaling These are described in the above referenced NARB RCE documents When configured for use with the Internet2 IDC these advanced features are not currently utilized The recommended DRAGON configuration mode for use with the Internet2 IDC is a single domain configur
5. ation as described in the DRAGON documentation These other advanced NARB RCE feature will be utilized in a subsequent release to remove the need for the IDC configuration to require manual configurations for Network Topology Description and IntraDomain InterDomain routes These manual configurations are as defined in section 5 of the DCN Software Suite v0 3 OSCARS Inter Domain Controller IDC Installation Guide 3 DRAGON Project The VLSR and NARB RCE software described in this document is a based on results from the National Science Foundation funded Dynamic Resource Allocation via GMPLS Optical Networks DRAGON project Additional details regarding this project are available at http dragon east isi edu
