| 3 | The Future Internet Research & Experimentation (FIRE) project is sponsored by the European Union under the ICT theme of EU Framework Programme 7. It has two related dimensions: Building a European Experimental Facility for Future Internet research, and supporting experimentally-driven advanced research, which defines the challenges for and takes advantage of the dynamically evolving facility. |

| 5 | From the GENI perspective, FIRE combines both research and infrastructure projects. It is thus somewhat equivalent to a combination of the NSF's Network Science and Engineering efforts as well as the GENI project. |
