Society Issues
We increasingly rely on the Internet but are
unsure we can trust its security, privacy or
resilience
Science Issues
We cannot currently understand or predict the
behavior of complex,large-scale networks
Innovation Issues
Substantial barriers toat-scale experimentation with new architectures, services,
and technologies
Global networks are creatingextremely important new challenges

• Project to Build
• Infrastructure to support greenfield network science
• NOT Research in itself
• The Test Track, not the car

GENI Summary
• Funded by NSF• BBN Technologies serves as the GENI Project
Office (GPO)• 2 Solicitations so far
– Solicitation #1 had 29 funded projects– Solicitation #2 had 33 funded projects
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation 6January 13, 2010
GENI Control Frameworks
• GPO grouped projects into control framework clusters– each cluster is anchored by a project to develop a
control plane for the facility– 5 clusters initially:
• PlanetLab• TIED• ProtoGENI• ORCA/BEN• ORBIT

GENI Early Focus: “Slicing”
• In GENI, a slice means a set of virtualized resources connected together to provide a single virtual testbed for a scientist
• “slicing” across parts of a control framework cluster is main thrust now
• future will mean inter-cluster slicing & federation with other facilities & networks

Build outIntegration
Use
• An achievable Spiral 1Rev 1 control frameworks, federation of multiple substrates (clusters, wireless, regional / national optical net with early GENI ‘routers’, some existing testbeds),Rev 1 user interface and instrumentation.
• 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 ProcessRe-evaluate goals and technologies yearly by a systematic process, decide what to prototype and build next.

The GENI Project Office is interested in federation withpeer efforts outside the US, based on equality and arisingfrom direct, “researcher to researcher” collaborations.
