GENI Workshop on Layer2/SDN Campus Deployment July 7, 2011 Larry Landweber GENI Project Office John P. Morgridge Professor, Emeritus University of Wisconsin - Madison

The Post-Internet Era Why? – TCP/IP is broken at gigabit speeds – IP is not the protocol of choice for Data centers / clouds Wireless and mobile networks and applications Gigabit applications and data-intensive science – Scaling is a problem – e.g., routing – Quality-of-service generally not available – Security remains unsolved A New Approach – Built on Layer 2 – Software-defined (SDN), programmable, sliceable – New Protocols - OpenFlow, WiMAX – Already used in R&E backbones and on 14 campuses

ASSERTIONS We are at the same stage with respect to exploration of this new technology as we were in 1984 for the Internet technology. The NSFNET in 1985 provided a testbed for developing the Internet to where it could become a commercial system. Campus IT organizations were leaders in this effort.

GOAL National scale, programmable, sliceable SDN spanning campuses, regional and national backbones Support wide range of research – Network and other computer science – Data intensive science – Gigabit application development and use Efficiently support campus IT operations/services Build on GENI experience, infrastructure and technology Support U.S. Ignite Prototype for the future non-Internet (name TBD)?

Campuses – The Missing Piece OpenFlow / WiMAX deployment on production campus networks Build on experience of 14 “GENI-enabled” campuses Extend beyond CS/Engineering Partnership between CIO organizations and researchers is critical

Today’s Workshop 22 campuses represented NSF (CISE, OCI), Internet2, GENI, EDUCAUSE Agenda – GENI update – OpenFlow, WiMAX technologies – Campus case studies – Discussion – Next steps - planning for collaborative efforts – NSF CISE perspective

Next Steps Campus planning – architecture / financial – Assistance from exemplar campuses – Collaboration between CIO organization and CS – Output needed by GPO to prepare solicitation GENI Development and Prototyping Solicitation 4 Additional funding in 2012 Goal: ~30 campuses GENI-enabled by end of 2012
