Sponsored by the National Science Foundation Spiral Development GENI grows through a well-structured, adaptive process GENI Prototyping Plan Use Planning Design Build outIntegration Use GENI Spiral 2 Early experiments, meso-scale build, interoperable control frameworks, ongoing integration, system designs for security and instrumentation, definition of identity management plans. Envisioned ultimate goal Example: Planning Group’s desired GENI suite, probably trimmed some ways and expanded others. Incorporates large-scale distributed computing resources, high-speed backbone nodes, nationwide optical networks, wireless & sensor nets, etc. Spiral Development Process Re-evaluate goals and technologies yearly by a systematic process, decide what to prototype and build next.

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 3 March 17, 2010 Overarching goal –Get real experiments up and running Technical emphases –Integration, particularly of the meso-scale prototype –Interoperability –Instrumentation –Identity management Key goals for Spiral 2

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 5 March 17, 2010 An intriguing “Research MVNO” concept What is the idea? –Wireless National-scale Test Bed –perhaps implemented via a non-profit Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) –that would contract with cellular providers to obtain access for researchers to national scale networks Who is involved? –Ringleaders: Mark Cummings and James Kempf –Interested parties: Deborah Estrin, Vint Cerf, GPO Next steps –Perhaps an NSF-sponsored workshop to investigate the concept’s feasibility and research utility (Victor Frost)

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 6 March 17, 2010 Solicitation 3 ideas We seek your suggestions and feedback Actively pondering GPO Solicitation 3 –Notional schedule: Issue solicitation in late spring, with proposals due in mid-late summer –Notional funding level: similar to Solicitation 1 –Talk to us now about your ideas Solicitation areas as currently envisioned 1.Aggressively grow meso-scale build (next slide) 1.More campus, regional, & backbone sites 2.New “GENI Racks” (eg rack of PCs with OpenFlow switch) 2.GENI Instrumentation system (build & deploy) 3.Operations / experiment support / training / education & curriculum development 4.Interesting new ideas

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 7 March 17, 2010 Aggressively grow meso-scale build This is just a concept – we seek your input Accelerate and expand meso-scale build started in Spiral 2 (add more campus, regional, backbone sites) Inject “GENI Racks” throughout to beef up computation / storage –1 high end Rack = basic unit of computation / storage –Notionally a rack of 1U computers with OpenFlow switch (eg) –Highly sliceable, programmable, virtualized, & significant storage –Deploy into network’s topologically significant points (eg, backbones, regionals, campuses, near WiMAX) –Wide range of possible research uses –Eg, programmable routers, content distribution, …

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 8 March 17, 2010 GENI & Future Internet Architectures (FIA) NSF’s FIA solicitation is out, proposal deadline April 22, 2010 –“stimulate innovative and creative research to explore, design, and evaluate trustworthy future Internet architectures” –“design and experiment with new network architectures and networking concepts” –“proposals must describe plans to prototype and evaluate the proposed architectures; this may require the construction of new artifacts or the use of research infrastructure like GENI or the NCR (National Cyber Range)” GPO’s perspective on FIA –FIA research should greatly influence GENI Spiral 3 and onwards –Talk to us now about infrastructure that would be helpful, particularly as we formulate Solicitation 3 –GPO will be fair & even-handed –GPO is not on any FIA team

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 9 March 17, 2010 So let’s discuss Solicitation 3 in the hallways –We have plenty of time to bounce around ideas before a late spring solicitation –Impact would be felt starting in mid Spiral 3 But now let’s focus on what’s happening now –Spiral 2 ! (reminder – we are tracking progress against your milestones, and several groups are not showing signs of progress...)
