  3. Global networks are creatingextremely important new challenges Credit: MONET Group at UIUC 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 Society Issues We increasingly rely on the Internet but are unsure we can trust its security, privacy or resilience

  4. GENI: Infrastructure for Experimentation GENI provides compute resources that can be connected in experimenter specified Layer 2 topologies.

  5. GENI: Infrastructure for Experimentation GENI provides compute resources that can be connected in experimenter specified Layer 2 topologies.

  6. Multiple GENI Experiments run Concurrently Resources can be shared between slices Experiments live in isolated “slices”

  7. GENI is “Deeply Programmable” I install software I want throughout my network slice (into routers, switches, …) or control switches using OpenFlow Experimenters can set up custom topologies, protocols and switching of flows

  8. GENI Compute Resources GENI Wireless compute nodes GENI Racks Existing Testbeds (e.g. Emulab)

  9. GENI Networking Resources National Research Backbones (e.g. Internet2) Networking within a Rack Regional Networks (e.g. CENIC) WiMAX Base Stations

  10. Outline • GENI – Exploring future internets at scale • The GENI Concept • Building GENI • Experimental and Classroom use of GENI • What’s next for GENI? • GENI: An experimenter’s view

  11. A bright idea “I have a great idea.” “That will never work.”

  12. Let’s try it out! My new architecture worked great in the lab, so now I’m going to try a larger experiment for a few months. He uses a modest slice of GENI, sharing its infrastructure with many other concurrent experiments.

  13. It turns into a really good idea This service looks very useful His slice of GENI keeps growing, but GENI is still running many other concurrent experiments.

  14. Attracts real users “Looks like an app to me.” “It’s my very own GENI slice.”

  15. “Boy did I learn a lot!” “What a cool service.” (I wonder how it works.) “I always said it was a great idea.” (But way too conservative.)

  16. ?? If you have a great idea, check out theNSF CISE research programs for current opportunities.

  17. Moral of this story GENI is meant to enable . . . At-scale experiments Internet-incompatible experiments Both repeatable and “in the wild” experiments ‘Opt in’ for real users Instrumentation and measurement tools GENI creates a huge opportunity for ambitious research!

  47. GENI: Terms and Definitions Slice Abstraction for a collection of resources capable of running experiments • An experiment uses resources in a slice • Slices isolate experiments • Experimenters are responsible for their slices

  48. GENI: Terms and Definitions • Slice authority: Creates and registers slices • GENI slice authorities: PlanetLab, ProtoGENI, GPO Lab • Aggregate: Provides resources to GENI experimenters • Typically owned and managed by an organization • Examples: PlanetLab, Emulab, GENI Rack on various campuses • Aggregates implement the GENI AM API Slice Authority Create & Register Slice Slice credentials Aggregate Manager API - listResources - createSliver … Researcher Aggregate Manager Aggregate Resources

  49. GENI: Terms and Definitions • Sliver: One or more resources provided by an aggregate • E.g. Bare machines, virtual machines, VLANs Campus#3 Commercial Clouds My slice contains slivers from many aggregates. Backbone #1 Campus My GENI Slice Corporate GENI suites Access#1 Backbone #2 Research Testbed Other-Nation Projects Campus#2

  50. RSpecs • RSpecs: Lingua franca for describing and requesting resources • “Machine language” for negotiating resources between experiment and aggregate • Experimenter tools eliminate the need for most experimenters to write or read RSpec <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rspecxmlns="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/2 http://www.protogeni.net/resources/rspec/2/request.xsd" type="request" > <node client_id="my-node" exclusive="true"> <sliver_type name="raw-pc" /> </node> </rspec> RSpec for requesting a single node
