GENI D&P Infrastructure

“这项奖励是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。”该奖励资助了三组学术/工业合作团队，用于集成、运营和主持一套端到端原型GENI基础设施的实验，这些基础设施由支持GENI的商业硬件构建，横跨13个大学校园，通过两个美国国家研究骨干（Internet2和national Lambda Rail）的兼容扩展连接，全国总足迹为每秒40千兆比特。这个中尺度基础设施的原型化将：为全新形式的研究实验创建一个引人注目的基础设施，规模要比以前大得多，这将提供早期形式的中尺度实验，从而推动GENI的螺旋式发展；2. 通过校园研究人员和基础设施运营商之间的紧密合作，鼓励13个主要校园的早期用户广泛参与和“选择加入”，然后随着建设的进展，可以再增加21个校园；和3。通过Arista、Cisco、HP、Juniper和NEC的支持geni的商用设备，以及at&t和Nicira的软件，打造强大的学术/工业基础。科学、社会和经济效益是多方面的。中尺度实验将在未来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选择用户。这样的实验能力将使全新的网络科学和工程研究成为可能，并提供宝贵的早期反馈，指导未来的螺旋式发展。研究人员将与国家基础设施供应商和商业设备供应商合作，及时取得成果和进展。在努力创建和整合这个高度新颖、中等规模的实验性基础设施的过程中，预计社区的能力和成熟度将不断增长。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开发和原型设计的下一个阶段部署。

"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.
