Exploring Networks of the Future
The start of GENI campus expansion

extremely important new challenges

We cannot currently understand
Substantial barriers to
or predict the behavior of
at-scale experimentation with new
complex, large-scale networks

Society Issues
We increasingly rely onUIUC

resilience

54. What is GENI?
• GENI is a virtual laboratory for exploring future
internets at scale, now rapidly taking shape in
prototype form across the United States
• GENI opens up huge new opportunities
– Leading-edge research in next-generation internets
– Rapid innovation in novel, large-scale applications
• Key GENI concept: slices & deep programmability
– Internet: open innovation in application programs
– GENI: open innovation deep into the network
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation Internet2 Spring Member Meeting – April 25, 2012 www.geni.net 54
55. Revolutionary GENI Idea
Slices and Deep Programmability
Install the software I want throughout my network slice
(into firewalls, routers, clouds, …)
And keep my slice isolated from your slice,
so we don’t interfere with each other
We can run many different “future internets” in parallel

GENI grows by “GENI-enabling” heterogeneous infrastructure

the evolving GENI federation.

Goals: avoid technology “lock in,” add new technologies as they mature, and potentially
grow quickly by incorporating existing infrastructure into the overall “GENI ecosystem”

57. Enabling “at scale” experiments
• How can we afford / build GENI at sufficient scale?
– Clearly infeasible to build research testbed “as big as the Internet”
– Therefore we are “GENI-enabling” testbeds, commercial equipment, campuses, regional
and backbone networks
– Students are early adopters / participants in at-scale experiments
– Key strategy for building an at-scale suite of infrastructure
HP ProCurve 5400 Switch
NEC WiMAX Base Station
GENI-enabled GENI-enabled campuses, “At scale” GENI prototype
equipment students as early adopters
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation Internet2 Spring Member Meeting – April 25, 2012 www.geni.net 57
58. Looking forward
Growing to the “at scale” GENI
• Suggest 100-200 US campuses as target for “at scale”
– Both academia and national labs
– GENI-enable the campuses
– Their students, faculty, staff can then “live in the future” using both
today’s Internet and many experiments
– Build out backbones, regionals, and shared clouds to support the
campuses
• Grow via ongoing spiral development
– Identify, understand, and drive down risks
– Learn what is useful and what is not
– Early GENI campuses can help later ones
• Transition to community governance

• Also suitable for physics, • Distributed cloud (racks) for content
genomics, other domain science caching, acceleration, etc.

63. S
GENI / Internet2 Agreement
N EW A major step towards campus expansion
• Collaboration to implement national-scale infrastructure
– sliced and deeply-programmable
– incorporating OpenFlow/SDN switches, GENI Racks,
university datacenters, etc.
– high-speed (10-100 Gbps initially)
• With software that supports shared use by faculty, students, and campus
IT organizations
• Gradual migration from today’s “prototype GENI” backbone in Internet2 to
a real, production system
• Scaling to an envisioned goal of 100-200 GENI campuses
Opens the door for “at-scale” GENI !
Note that this agreement does not exclude either party from additional collaborations.
