This project aims to leverage GENI's deeply programmable core and wireless edge networks to implement and evaluate recently proposed approaches for delivering predictable end-to-end performance to mobile devices. These approaches involve techniques such as inter-flow and intra-flow network coding, multipath routing, available bandwidth estimation, and spare bandwidth exploitation. While these techniques have been studied using simulations, it has never been possible to validate their models and their limits on an operational network without GENI's fine-grained measurement and control capabilities. True ubiquitous broadband networking cannot be realized without overcoming the bandwidth bottleneck and mobility overheads of future Internet, both at the core and at the wireless edge. Early wireless access deployments in many instances resulted in only marginal improvements in end-to-end data rates to mobile users. Outcomes from this research may influence the ongoing broadband initiatives in the United States.

该项目旨在利用GENI的深度可编程核心和无线边缘网络来实施和评估最近提出的为移动的设备提供可预测的端到端性能的方法。这些方法涉及流间和流内网络编码、多路径路由、可用带宽估计和空闲带宽利用等技术。虽然这些技术已经使用模拟进行了研究，但如果没有GENI的细粒度测量和控制能力，就永远不可能验证它们的模型及其在运营网络上的限制。如果不克服未来互联网的带宽瓶颈和移动开销，无论是在核心还是在无线边缘，就不可能实现真正的无处不在的宽带网络。在许多情况下，早期的无线接入部署仅导致对移动的用户的端到端数据速率的边际改进。这项研究的结果可能会影响美国正在进行的宽带计划。
