Pilot of FoD v1.5 was initially described in deliverable GN4-2 D8.2
"Firewall-on-Demand-Progress-Report", available at
https://www.geant.org/Projects/GEANT_Project_GN4/deliverables/D8.2_Firewall-on-Demand-Progress-Report.pdf .
FoD v1.5 finally comprises 3 new user functionalities:
- Explicit support for TCP/UDP port ranges in rule specifications making it much easier for users to deploy complex rules,
- rule mitigation statistics graph to give users feedback of the mitigation per rule, #
- as well as a multi-tenant REST API as alternative to the existing WebUI which will allow users to automate DDoS mitigation.
Pilot for FoD v1.5 has 3 designated pilot users, namely RedIRIS, LITnet and EEnet, which will extensively test these new user functionalities and the usefulness for their operational work.
Preparation of the pilot, i.e. packaging and test installation by T6 developers, started at beginning of 2017/07, since start of 2017/08 UAT test-installation by GEANT operations is in progress. During that installation and application dependency issues where found, identified and solved together with the T6 developers. Also an excel document of appropriate Pilot criteria/KPIs has been prepared (update of corresponding pilot criteria document for v1.1). A pilot result survey to be filled at the end of the pilot is prepared (update of pilot result survey of v1.1), too.
