Campus Participation in National Scale GENI-enabled Infrastructure

这种渴望支持一个进程，该进程将导致开发一个全国性的基础设施，使对未来互联网、分布式云和新颖的大规模应用的研究成为可能。它由两部分组成。首先，来自Geni校园的技术和管理人员将为其他希望Geni启用自己的网络的校园担任导师。这将通过实地考察完成，然后在新校园部署必要的技术以实现GENI时提供常规建议。该项目的第二部分包括为所有在启用Geni的园区工作的网络工程师以及那些仍希望启用Geni的园区的网络工程师举办的研讨会。研讨会将于11月在堪萨斯城举行的下一届Geni工程会议上举行。这个项目是高风险、高回报的；它提出了一项探索性工作战略，到2012年底将全国使用GENI的校园数量增加到30个。当与Internet2的S承诺以及即将做出的支持Geni的部分骨干网的区域网络承诺相结合时，结果很可能是一个全国性的Geni支持的实验网络。这项工作还处于非常早期的阶段，这些想法还没有得到检验，但如果成功，它将对社会产生潜在的与互联网一样重大的影响。这个项目的广泛影响是相当大的。全国各地的校园将成为GENI网络基础设施的一部分，允许他们的研究人员进行全球其他地方不可能进行的实验。具有重大科学和社会意义的新技术具有巨大的开发潜力。例如，这些校区的学生将能够参加计算机科学和工程课程，这些课程需要使用GENI基础设施来构建原型分布式云系统、新的安全体系结构或大规模应用程序。

This EAGER supports a process that will lead to the development of a national-scale infrastructure that will enable research on future internets, distributed clouds, and novel, large-scale applications. It has two parts. First, technical and administrative personnel from GENI-enabled campuses will serve as mentors for other campuses wishing to GENI-enable their own networks. This will be accomplished via site visits and then routine advising as the new campuses deploy the technologies necessary to become GENI-enabled. The second part of the project consists of a workshop for all the network engineers working at GENI-enabled campuses as well as those at campuses still wishing to become GENI-enabled. The workshop will be hosted at the next GENI Engineering Conference in November in Kansas City. This project is high-risk high reward; it proposes a strategy for exploratory work to increase the number of GENI-enabled campuses across the country to thirty by the end of 2012. When combined with Internet2's commitment and forthcoming regional network commitments to GENI-enable parts of their backbones, the result could well be a national-scale GENI-enabled experimental network. This work is at a very early stage and the ideas are untested, but if successful, it will have an impact on society that is potentially as significant as that of the Internet. The broader impacts of this project are considerable. Campuses across the country will become part of the GENI network infrastructure, allowing for their researchers to carry out experiments not possible anywhere else on the globe. There is great potential for new technologies of significant scientific and societal importance to be developed. The students on these campuses will be able to 'live in the future' taking computer science and engineering courses that require use of the GENI infrastructure to build prototype distributed cloud systems, new security architectures, or large-scale applications, for example.
