Campus Participation in National Scale GENI-enabled Infrastructure

这个EAGER项目支持的进程将导致国家规模基础设施的发展，这将使未来互联网、分布式云和新型大规模应用的研究成为可能。它有两部分。首先，来自已启用geni校园的技术和行政人员将为希望启用geni网络的其他校园担任导师。这将通过实地考察和常规建议来完成，因为新校区部署了启用geni所需的技术。该项目的第二部分包括一个研讨会，面向所有在启用了geni的校园工作的网络工程师，以及那些仍然希望启用geni的校园的网络工程师。该研讨会将于11月在堪萨斯城举行的下一届GENI工程会议上举行。本项目高风险、高回报；它提出了一项探索性工作战略，以便到2012年底将全国具有基因信息的校园数量增加到30个。当与Internet2的承诺和即将到来的区域网络承诺相结合，使其骨干部分能够实现geni时，结果很可能是一个全国性的geni实验网络。这项工作还处于非常早期的阶段，这些想法还未经检验，但如果成功，它将对社会产生潜在的重大影响，就像互联网一样。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在全球其他地方不可能进行的实验。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，例如，这些课程需要使用GENI基础设施来构建分布式云系统原型、新的安全架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.
