"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)." This award funds three collaborating sets of academic / industrial teams to integrate, operate, and host experiments on a suite of end-to-end prototype GENI infrastructure built from GENI-enabled commercial hardware across 13 university campuses, linked by compatible build-outs through two US national research backbones (Internet2 and National Lambda Rail) across an aggregate national footprint of 40 gigabits per second. Prototying this meso-scale infrastructure will: 1. Create a compelling infrastructure for entirely new forms of research experimentation at a much larger scale than has previously been available, which will then provide early forms of meso-scale experimentation that can drive GENI's spiral development; 2. Stimulate broad community participation and "opt-in" by early users across 13 major campuses, which can then grow by a further 21 campuses as the build-out progresses, with a strong partnership between campus researchers and infrastructure operators; and 3. Forge a strong academic /industrial base by GENI-enabling commercial equipment from Arista, Cisco, HP, Juniper and NEC, with software from AT&T and Nicira. The scientific, social and economic benefits are many. Meso-scale experiments can begin within the next 12 months. These experiments will operate at an unprecedented scale and can draw on campus student populations as early, opt-in users. Such experimental capabilities will enable whole new classes of network science and engineering research and provide invaluable early feedback that will guide future spiral development. Researchers will work with national infrastructure providers and commercial equipment providers in a collaborative effort in which timely results and progress matter. It is expected that the community will grow in capability and maturity as it strives to create and integrate this highly novel, medium-scale experimental infrastructure. If successful, this could result in GENI-enabled commercial equipment becoming widely available and deployed over the next spirals in GENI's development and prototyping.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助的。该奖项资助三组合作的学术/工业团队，在一套端到端原型GENI基础设施上集成、运营和主持实验，该基础设施由13所大学校园内支持GENI的商业硬件构建，通过两个美国国家研究骨干网(Internet2和National Lambda Rail)通过兼容的扩建连接在一起，总覆盖范围为40 Gb/s。建立这种中级规模的基础设施将：1.创建一个引人注目的基础设施，用于全新形式的研究实验，其规模比以前大得多，然后将提供早期形式的中级实验，可以推动GENI的螺旋式发展；2.在校园研究人员和基础设施运营商之间建立强有力的合作伙伴关系，鼓励13个主要校园的广泛社区参与和早期用户的“选择加入”，然后随着建设进程，校园研究人员和基础设施运营商之间可以进一步扩大到21个校园；3.通过Arista、思科、惠普、瞻博和NEC的Geni商用设备，以及AT&amp；T和Nicira的软件，打造强大的学术/工业基础。其科学、社会和经济效益是多方面的。中尺度实验可以在未来12个月内开始。这些实验将以前所未有的规模进行，并可以吸引校园学生群体作为早期的选择加入用户。这样的实验能力将使网络科学和工程研究的全新课程成为可能，并提供宝贵的早期反馈，将指导未来的螺旋式发展。研究人员将与国家基础设施提供商和商业设备提供商合作，共同努力，及时取得成果和进展。预计社区将在努力创建和集成这种高度新颖的中型实验基础设施时，在能力和成熟度方面有所增长。如果成功，这可能会导致支持Geni的商业设备变得广泛可用，并在Geni开发和原型的下一轮螺旋中部署。
