v12 v13 1 1 = Experimentation with GENI = 2 2 3 == Why use GENI? ==3 == 1.0 Why use GENI? == 4 4 GENI might be right for your experiment if: 5 5 * Your experiment requires more resources than would ordinarily be found in your lab. Since GENI is a suite of infrastructures it can potentially provide you with more resources than is typically found in any one laboratory. This is especially true for compute resources: GENI provides access to large testbeds with hundreds of PCs and to cloud computing resources. … … 7 7 * Your experiment requires requires geographically distributed resources. Some GENI aggregates include resources distributed around the world. 8 8 9 == An Experimenter's View of GENI ==9 == 2.0 An Experimenter's View of GENI == 10 10 11 11 GENI is a suite of infrastructures for networking and distributed systems experimentation. GENI supports at-scale experimentation on shared, heterogeneous, highly instrumented infrastructure and enables deep programmability throughout the network. … … 18 18 [[Image(GENIComponentsPicture-2.png, 40%)]] 19 19 20 == GENI Aggregates ==20 == 3.0 GENI Aggregates == 21 21 The following is a table lists GENI aggregates that are currently available for use by experimenters and the networks (GENI backbone network or the Internet) to which they connect. GENI has two backbone networks: [http://www.internet2.edu/ Internet2] and [http://www.nlr.net/ National Lambda Rail (NLR)]. The Internet2 backbone provides 1Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for GENI experiments and the NLR backbone provides up to 30Gbps of non-dedicated bandwidth. Some aggregates that connect to GENI backbone networks may be connected to other resources on the network using Layer 2 VLANS, giving experimenters the option of running non-IP based Layer 3 and above protocols. 22 22 23 === GENI aggregates currently available to experimenters: ===23 === 3.1 GENI aggregates currently available to experimenters: === 24 24 '''Compute Resources''' 25 25 || [wiki:GeniAggregate/PrincetonMyPLC Princeton PlanetLab] || Internet || … … 40 40 || [wiki:GeniAggregate/BBNOpenFlow BBN OpenFlow network] || Internet2 and NLR || 41 41 42 === GENI aggregates that will be available soon, with links to their GENI project page: ===42 === 3.2 GENI aggregates that will be available soon, with links to their GENI project page: === 43 43 '''Compute Resources''' 44 44 || [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GpENI GpENI] || … … 53 53 54 54 55 === Picking Resources for Your Experiment ===55 === 3.3 Picking Resources for Your Experiment === 56 56 As you plan your experiment you will want to consider: 57 57 * The degree of control you need over your experiment. Do you need to tightly control the resources (CPU, bandwidth, etc.) allocated to your experiment or will best-effort suffice. If you need a tightly controlled environment you might want to consider the U. of Utah ProtoGENI aggregate that allocate entire PCs that can be connected in arbitrary topologies. … … 63 63 64 64 65 == Experimenter Tools ==65 == 4.0 Experimenter Tools == 66 66 67 === 4.1 Experiment Control Tools === 67 68 68 69 == Instrumentation and Measurement Tools == 69 === 4.2 Instrumentation and Measurement Tools === 70 70 71 71 == Tutorials ==
