Research • Future Internet architectures • Software defined networking • Large scale evaluation of smart grid protocols Education • Networking and Distributed systems classes • Cloud computing classes • Wi. MAX classes As of October 2014, GENI has over 2700 users! Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction – 20 October 2014 www. geni. net 14

Three FIA Teams have Slices on GENI NDN (demo at GEC 13) Tutorials of all three at this GEC XIA (demo at GEC 15) Mobility. First (demo at GEC 12, GEC 18, GEC 20) GENI is a unique testbed that can support all of these teams Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction – 20 October 2014 www. geni. net 15

Growing use of GENI in the Classroom! Over 50 classes using GENI • Undergrad level • Graduate level • Used Internationally Ready-to-use tutorials assignments • • Teach how to use GENI Teach networking concepts Teach distributed computing concepts Teach programmable networks Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction – 20 October 2014 Jeannie Albrecht (Williams College) with students from her Spring 2012 Distributed Systems class www. geni. net 16

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 Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction – 20 October 2014 www. geni. net 20

Clearinghouse and Aggregates Create & Register Slice credentials users projects slices clearinghouse Aggregate Manager API Researcher Tool - list. Resources - create. Sliver … Aggregate Manager Aggregate Resources • Clearinghouse: Manages users, projects and slices – Standard credentials shared via custom API or new Common CH API – GENI supported accounts: GENI Portal/CH, Planet. Lab CH, Proto. GENI CH • Aggregate: Provides resources to GENI experimenters – Typically owned and managed by an organization – Speaks the GENI AM API – Examples: Planet. Lab, Emulab, GENI Racks on various campuses Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction – 20 October 2014 www. geni. net 21

GENI: Terms and Definitions • A slice : One or more resources provided by an aggregate – E. g. Bare machines, virtual machines, VLANs GENI Rack #3 My slice contains slivers from many aggregates. Commercial Clouds Backbone #1 GENI Rack #1 Research Testbed My GENI Slice Access #1 Corporate GENI suites Backbone #2 Other-Nation Projects GENI Rack #2 Sponsored by the National Science Foundation GENI Introduction – 20 October 2014 www. geni. net 22

Resource Specifications (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"? > <rspec xmlns="http: //www. protogeni. net/resources/rspec/2" xmlns: xsi="http: //www. w 3. org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi: schema.
