GENI as a Research and Development Lab Deniz Gurkan, PhD October 29, 2013

Proposed GENI Usage Industry partnerships – Virtual Appliances – Foreign Hardware – Management Software Applications – Benchmarking – On-demand Programmability – Network Functions Virtualization

SDP on GENI

Time to Steer Traffic away from Firewall

Network Management

Shakedown large scale experiments – not so much, yet long-running services – somewhat dynamic experiment topologies – definitely for network management and foreign boxes high-bandwidth connectivity – somewhat novel uses of OpenFlow – yes

What challenges do you expect? Foreign box – Physical connectivity – Twin deployment – Programmability through GENI control frameworks ExoGENI – starting point InstaGENI - ? Firewall traffic steering – Measurements in a virtualized environment – how to generalize?

Are you developing any tools? If yes what is their scope/usage? I should: esp. for foreign boxes – How to enable other researchers to deploy an application on a foreign hardware? Probably control framework dependent

Purpose Enrich industry partnerships Use GENI as a research and development lab
