The Global Environment for Network Innovations? GENI ? is a suite of research infrastructure rapidly taking shape in prototype form across the United States. GENI aims to transform experimental research in networking and distributed systems, as well as emerging research into very large socio-technical systems, by providing a suite of infrastructure for ?at scale? experiments in future internets.GENI supports two types of experiments: (a) controlled and repeatable experiments, which will greatly help improve our scientific understanding of complex, large-scale networks; and (b) ?in the wild? trials of experimental services that ride atop or connect to today?s Internet and that engage large numbers of human participants. GENI will provide excellent instrumentation for both forms of experiments, as well as the requisite data archival and analysis tools.GENI entered its prototyping phase in mid 2007 as NSF awarded the GENI Project Office (GPO) role to BBN Technologies. Now, after several years of community prototyping, a number of interesting research experiments are running across the nationwide ?meso-scale? GENI prototype, built from GENI-enabled commercial equipment, that spans 14 US campuses and the two national research backbones (Internet2, NLR). GENI is being built by GENI-enabling existing testbeds, campuses, regional and backbone networks, cloud computation services, and commercial equipment. GENI can then incorporate these networks and services by federation, rather than constructing and operating a separate set of infrastructure for experimental research.This award will fund the GENI project through its completion. During this period, the GENI Project Office will: Complete the transition from building GENI to using GENI for research experimentation;Phase in full-time, federated GENI operations to support this rising experimentation; Grow to an ?at scale? suite of infrastructure in hundreds of campuses and networks, and perhaps even one or more cities; Transition to community governance; and Wind down the GENI Project Office.

网络创新的全球环境？吉尼？是一套研究基础设施，在美国各地以原型形式迅速形成。GENI的目标是通过提供一套基础设施，将网络和分布式系统的实验研究以及新兴研究转化为非常大的社会技术系统。在规模？GENI支持两种类型的实验：（a）受控和可重复的实验，这将大大有助于提高我们对复杂的大规模网络的科学理解;（B）？在野外试验性的服务，骑在上面或连接到今天？的互联网和参与大量的人类参与者。GENI将为这两种形式的实验提供出色的仪器，以及必要的数据存档和分析工具。GENI在2007年中期进入原型阶段，NSF将GENI项目办公室（EQUIPMENT）的角色授予BBN Technologies。现在，经过几年的社区原型，一些有趣的研究实验正在全国范围内运行？中尺度？GENI原型，由GENI支持的商业设备建造，跨越14个美国校园和两个国家研究骨干（Internet 2，NLR）。GENI正在由GENI构建，使现有的测试平台，校园，区域和骨干网络，云计算服务和商业设备成为可能。然后，GENI可以通过联盟的方式整合这些网络和服务，而不是建造和运营一套单独的基础设施进行实验研究。该奖项将资助GENI项目完成。在此期间，GENI项目办公室将：完成从建立GENI到使用GENI进行研究实验的过渡;分阶段实施全职的联合GENI操作，以支持这一新兴的实验;成长为一个？在规模？在数百个校园和网络，甚至可能是一个或多个城市的基础设施套件;过渡到社区治理;并关闭GENI项目办公室。
