31. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 31 Feb 18, 2011 Want to affiliate your infrastructure? If so, you will become a new GENI “aggregate” –You own / operate your aggregate, and “affiliate” into GENI –You make (some of) your resources available for experiments –Examples: testbeds, campuses, regionals and backbone networks, commercial providers,... Three actions needed on your part –Download GENI API software, modify to reflect your infrastructure resources and local policies –Connect to GENI, ideally at Layer 2 but otherwise via GRE tunnel –Agree to GENI policies, sign MOUs, join GENI operations Reminder: GENI is still a really early prototype!
