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.

EAGER支持一个过程，该过程将导致国家规模的基础设施的开发，这将使对未来互联网，分布式云和新的大规模应用程序的研究成为可能。它有两个部分。首先，来自支持GENI的校园的技术和行政人员将担任希望支持GENI的其他校园的导师。这将通过实地考察和例行咨询来完成，因为新校区部署了实现GENI所需的技术。该项目的第二部分包括为所有在启用GENI的校园工作的网络工程师以及那些在校园仍然希望成为GENI启用的研讨会。研讨会将于11月在堪萨斯城举行的下一届GENI工程会议上举办。该项目是高风险高回报的;它提出了一项探索性工作的战略，以在2012年底前将全国启用GENI的校园数量增加到30所。如果将第二代因特网的承诺和即将作出的区域网络承诺结合起来，使其骨干网的一部分实现GENI，其结果很可能是一个全国规模的GENI实验网络。这项工作还处于非常早期的阶段，其想法尚未得到验证，但如果成功，它将对社会产生与互联网一样重要的影响。 该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，使他们的研究人员能够进行地球仪上其他任何地方都不可能进行的实验。开发具有重大科学和社会意义的新技术的潜力很大。这些校园的学生将能够“生活在未来”，学习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，新的安全架构或大规模应用程序。
