This project will fund the development of components and their integration for Spiral 1 of an end-to-end prototype of a suite of network infrastructure that would enable researchers to carry out novel network science and engineering experiments, i.e., to do science that currently can not be done. Spiral 1 will attempt a first, trial integration and operation of components on multiple national backbones. Spiral 1 will be developed as quickly as possible to identify and reduce programmatic and technical risk and to help the research community achieve a shared vision by providing a working prototype. It will stimulate broad community participation and build a strong academic and industrial base. Twenty-nine projects, working in five teams will compete in the design and implementation of the network infrastructure control framework. System engineers will perform top-down integration planning and project guidance. While a well-integrated, orderly system may not be possible until Spiral 2 or 3, Spiral 1 will take the critical first step towards creating this radically new kind of experimental infrastructure with end-to-end, virtualizable, and sliceable capabilities, which are entirely novel. Once this first spiral exists, it will co-evolve with the community?s emerging research and education agenda. The larger impacts are potentially huge, allowing for transformative research in network science and engineering that has never been done before.

该项目将为一套网络基础设施的端到端原型的螺旋1号组件及其集成的开发提供资金，这将使研究人员能够进行新颖的网络科学和工程实验，即进行目前无法完成的科学。螺旋1号将首次尝试在多个国家主干上进行组件集成和运行。将尽快开发螺旋1，以确定和减少方案和技术风险，并通过提供工作原型帮助研究界实现共同愿景。它将促进社会的广泛参与，并建立一个强大的学术和工业基础。29个项目，分成五个小组，将在网络基础设施控制框架的设计和实施方面展开竞争。系统工程师将执行自上而下的集成规划和项目指导。虽然一个集成良好、有序的系统可能要等到螺旋2或3才可能实现，但螺旋1将迈出关键的第一步，朝着创建这种具有端到端、可虚拟化和可分割功能的全新实验基础设施迈出关键的第一步，这些都是全新的。一旦这第一个螺旋存在，它将与社会共同进化？S正在兴起研究和教育议程。更大的影响可能是巨大的，使网络科学和工程领域的变革性研究成为可能，这是以前从未做过的。
