    10 '''Abstract'''
    11     New wireless technologies allow mobile users to have easy access to real time data, and stay connected with friends, colleagues, & business partners. However emerging applications are usually data-centric but existing IP oriented paradigms are not flexible enough to support this. To support emerging mobile applications, we are developing a next generation mobile network that supports mobile content centric networking features, namely (a) intentional named message delivery, (b) content-centric security, (c) push-pull based data disseminations.
    12 
    13     In our new  SECON network, users can send User Interest (UI) packets to Content Resolution Server (CRS) to request for content data (CD) packets associated with a particular URI. The UIs will be forwarded by the receiving CRS to other CRSes that know who will be publishing content packets related to that URI. The UIs can also have intentional-named destinations e.g. all CRSes within a certain geographical area. In addition content publishers can send content publish announcements to CRSes before they forward content data packets to these CRSes.  We have a preliminary prototype that supports UI, CPA & CD features. More features will be added in the near future.

     15'''Abstract'''
     16   An essential issue in the future Internet is how to efficiently manage the network and computational resources shared by a variety of application services with different QoS requirements over multiple diverse infrastructural networks. Network virtualization is a promising approach but further studies to develop an effective and practical architecture are required. Our poster presents an outline of a proposed architecture aiming to efficiently accommodate heterogeneous and numerous virtual network application service providers assuming the use of !OpenFlow-based technology. In particular, the architecture focuses on the following features: (1) !OpenFlow network virtualization in a large-scale testbed environment, (2) management of resources by a meta-resource provider to accommodate diverse QoS requirements and dynamic resource status over infrastructural network domains, and (3) distributed information management of network and computational resources based on perfSONAR technology.

     46'''Abstract'''
     47 
     48    The poster comprises two parts. In part one, we are collecting  the Internet traffic signature on !OpenFlow to use as backgroutnd  traffic. By using the real background traffic, we are investigating the effectiveness of theoretical DDoS attack detection techniques on GENI.  We are also trying to evaluate our proposed equation of necessary  traffic for DDoS attack. Part two focuses on analyzing DoS attacks that  exploit WiMAX system parameter settings. We concentrate on parameters  concerning bandwidth contention resolution in IEEE 802.16 standards. We  use analysis of variance (ANOVA) to find how parameter settings affect  the ability of DoS attackers to monopolize network bandwidth. We are  carrying out a DoS attack against WiMAX on GENI ORBIT and collecting  the data used for ANOVA.

     77'''Abstract'''
     78    Enterprises are increasingly deploying their applications in the cloud given the cost-saving advantages, and the potential to geo-distribute applications to ensure resilience and better service experience. Latency and availability are critical with such performance sensitive applications. A key problem then is to meet the stringent response time requirements of enterprise applications in the cloud. We build a system that we term Dealer which for each component, dynamically splits transactions among its replicas in different data-centers.  It adapts to sudden changes in delay across components and routes requests to replicas of the components in a different data-center. In doing so, Dealer seeks to minimize user response times, and takes component performance, as well as intra-data- center and inter-data-center communication latencies into account. We have integrated the system with a performance sensitive trading application called Daytrader in GENI. [[br]]
     79    Our approach to evaluate the system makes use of the controlled and repeatable environment provided by GENI. The experiments that we have conducted on GENI aim at emulating sudden spikes in delay between components. We have studied the dynamic response time of Dealer by subjecting it to a Step Up input reference waveform. We have also compared the user response times in a Multi cloud environment on ProtoGENI with and without dealer. We present the results of the evaluation experiments conducted on GENI.

    31    Today’s society is witnessing a tremendous increase in digital information. Myriads of applications call for the pooling and sharing of massive amounts of widely-scattered data at ever increasing scales that require a commensurate infrastructure of powerful networked distributed systems across wide and diverse areas. We will implement two existing data sharing algorithms, Cycloid and LORD, on the P2P and MANET networks, and thus identify and investigate potential issues in data sharing applications in these different heterogeneous networks.  We are using GENI as the testbed for simulating the P2P and MANET network environments.  Also, we will conduct a multi-system GENI experiment to demonstrate how each domain should have its own routing solutions while all the domains are federated through !OpenFlow gateways.

    59 '''Abstract'''
    60     Network community needs a flexible platform for network experiment of new architectures, algorithms and protocols in the research of network innovation. However, building such a platform faces lots of challenges due to its complicate requirements. In this poster, we present TUNIE, a network testbed for rapid concurrent experiment of network innovation on virtualized programmable infrastructure in China. !ExpoNet provides end-to-end slice including wired and wireless components, which integrates both software- and hardware-based router virtualization technologies to provide a flexible approach to configure and customize both the control plane and data plane while satisfying various experiment requirements. In the wireless part, we have a sensor testbed including 100 wireless sensor nodes, and a !WiFi testbed. In the wired part, we have setup one !OpenFlow network, and two virtualization testbed based on multi-core servers and FPGA data plane. In our current platform implementation, we have four sites, two sites in Tsinghua University, one another university of BUPT, and one in China Union, one of the largest Service Providers in China. We have setup a Federation plan to extend our platform with other Universities and companies like HUST, Huawei, etc.

     117'''Abstract'''
     118
     119One fundamental requirement of any research or production network architecture is visibility: the ability to observe the performance of a network over time. This fact becomes even more evident when abnormalities in a network become prevalent. These can include classic broadcast storms from an operator's perspective or irresponsiveness of nodes within a slice from an experimenter's point of view.  To date, a plethora of network tools including iperf, nuttcap, ping, Ganglia, and Nagios are available to provide much needed insights into a network's performance.  However, these tools are tailored for "barebone" network components. In GENI, users are provided "slices" which will contain some subset of virtualized, programmable computing resources. For this reason, there exist an emerging class of "visibility" tools dedicated towards monitoring, within a slice context.  Among other tools, we use LAMP, adapted from perfSONAR, to manage and visualize I&M services and data. In particular, we create a reference slice which spans the GENI !OpenFlow backbone to provide experimenters a somewhat "ideal" view of the network's health. Among other uses, we envision that in such cases as network connectivity irregularities within a user's slice, they can quickly refer to the reference slice as a troubleshooting guide.

     135    Developments in power grid measurement and monitoring technology have enabled precise and frequent measurement of the state of the power grid.  Modern power grid control infrastructure are insufficient to the effective forwarding of this information to the necessary control facilities.  The GridStat framework offers an efficient, low-latency data forwarding framework that can provide the necessary Quality of Service for control facilities to maintain sub-second status of monitored power grid substations.  However, the current GridStat prototypes have not been tested outside local clusters.  The GENI infrastructure provide the platform through which it is possible to test GridStat at scale and identify problems with the current framework.

     147
     148    Data accessed on the mobile devices is exploding, but current mobile applications do a poor job in conserving energy while ensuring good performance, to satisfy the rapid increase in the frequency and volume of data access. The cloud services accessed by these applications consider neither the role of mobile operator’s network nor the mobile device state, leading to poor application performance and wastage of network resources. Today’s mobile operator (MO)’s networks are no longer “dumb pipes” but are connected to data centers with large amount of resources. We argue that this disruptive change makes MO’s network increasingly resemble a cloud computing infrastructure. We propose a storage platform called Infinity that can be used by service providers to effectively exploit the mobile operator’s network, while saving energy on the mobile devices.

     227
     228   The Measurement Data Archive prototype system consists of two components: 1) User Workspace and 2) Object Archive. The User Workspace component is an entry point for users (e.g., experimenters, instrumentation researchers, etc.) to store and transfer measurement data, which could be in a variety of forms (e.g., formatted datasets, raw files, etc.). Data and metadata files managed in the user workspace can be archived for long-term storage in an Object Archive. Once data is archived, a persistent and unique identifier is created.

     245    In a software defined network, packet forwarding methods can be changed on the fly to suit the needs of different traffic types. Not only can such a network redirect traffic's path, but it can also inject software agents in the forwarding path to provide additional services. At Clemson, we developed a solution to seamlessly enhance end-to-end data transport throughput across wide area networks. By decoupling end user and the core network's choice of transport protocols, the network provider can seamlessly enhance end users' experienced performance without requiring them to upgrade to unfamiliar new transport protocols.

     278'''Abstract'''
     279    New wireless technologies allow mobile users to have easy access to real time data, and stay connected with friends, colleagues, & business partners. However emerging applications are usually data-centric but existing IP oriented paradigms are not flexible enough to support this. To support emerging mobile applications, we are developing a next generation mobile network that supports mobile content centric networking features, namely (a) intentional named message delivery, (b) content-centric security, (c) push-pull based data disseminations.
     280
     281    In our new  SECON network, users can send User Interest (UI) packets to Content Resolution Server (CRS) to request for content data (CD) packets associated with a particular URI. The UIs will be forwarded by the receiving CRS to other CRSes that know who will be publishing content packets related to that URI. The UIs can also have intentional-named destinations e.g. all CRSes within a certain geographical area. In addition content publishers can send content publish announcements to CRSes before they forward content data packets to these CRSes.  We have a preliminary prototype that supports UI, CPA & CD features. More features will be added in the near future.

     294'''Abstract'''
     295   A single system image (SSI) is the property of a system that hides the heterogeneous and distributed nature of the available resources and presents them to users and applications as a single unified computing resource. The current GENI infrastructure allows users to select and configure resources at geographically dispersed deployments and thus create their own “slice”. Our proposed experiment will allow a user to augment his resources into a single unified system by leasing/sharing resources with his friends/social contacts (along the lines of a social networking model). An SSI will thus be different from a GENI end-to-end slice in that the SSI effectively appears as a single system to the user and not as a heterogeneous end-to-end connected set of resources. An SSI cluster provides the following benefits:
     296        1. single entry point

     361'''Abstract'''
     362    This project is concerned with dynamic bandwidth allocation in multi-domain networks. We have been designing and developing the algorithms to minimize the total cost of network bandwidth when satisfying the requirements of Quality of Service (QoS) predefined in the Service Level Agreement (SLA). An SLA is a contract negotiated between a network service provider and customers. The goal of this research is to evaluate the performance of these bandwidth allocation algorithms by a use of the GENI infrastructure. We have conducted experiments for the validation of percentile delay calculations as well as the evaluation of Additive Increase/Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD)-based bandwidth allocation algorithms. Furthermore, by using the research experiments of this project, we have designed GENI educational experiments that have been used in networking courses at RIT.

    166 
    167    The Measurement Data Archive prototype system consists of two components: 1) User Workspace and 2) Object Archive. The User Workspace component is an entry point for users (e.g., experimenters, instrumentation researchers, etc.) to store and transfer measurement data, which could be in a variety of forms (e.g., formatted datasets, raw files, etc.). Data and metadata files managed in the user workspace can be archived for long-term storage in an Object Archive. Once data is archived, a persistent and unique identifier is created.

By using the real background traffic, we are investigating the effectiveness of theoretical DDoS attack detection techniques on GENI.  We are also trying to evaluate our proposed equation of necessary  traffic for DDoS attack. Part two focuses on analyzing DoS attacks that  exploit WiMAX system parameter settings. We concentrate on parameters  concerning bandwidth contention resolution in IEEE 802.16 standards. We  use analysis of variance (ANOVA) to find how parameter settings affect  the ability of DoS attackers to monopolize network bandwidth. We are  carrying out a DoS attack against WiMAX on GENI ORBIT and collecting  the data used for ANOVA.

    215 '''Abstract'''
    216     Enterprises are increasingly deploying their applications in the cloud given the cost-saving advantages, and the potential to geo-distribute applications to ensure resilience and better service experience. Latency and availability are critical with such performance sensitive applications. A key problem then is to meet the stringent response time requirements of enterprise applications in the cloud. We build a system that we term Dealer which for each component, dynamically splits transactions among its replicas in different data-centers.  It adapts to sudden changes in delay across components and routes requests to replicas of the components in a different data-center. In doing so, Dealer seeks to minimize user response times, and takes component performance, as well as intra-data- center and inter-data-center communication latencies into account. We have integrated the system with a performance sensitive trading application called Daytrader in GENI. [[br]]
    217     Our approach to evaluate the system makes use of the controlled and repeatable environment provided by GENI. The experiments that we have conducted on GENI aim at emulating sudden spikes in delay between components. We have studied the dynamic response time of Dealer by subjecting it to a Step Up input reference waveform. We have also compared the user response times in a Multi cloud environment on ProtoGENI with and without dealer. We present the results of the evaluation experiments conducted on GENI.

    267    An essential issue in the future Internet is how to efficiently manage the network and computational resources shared by a variety of application services with different QoS requirements over multiple diverse infrastructural networks. Network virtualization is a promising approach but further studies to develop an effective and practical architecture are required. Our poster presents an outline of a proposed architecture aiming to efficiently accommodate heterogeneous and numerous virtual network application service providers assuming the use of !OpenFlow-based technology. In particular, the architecture focuses on the following features: (1) !OpenFlow network virtualization in a large-scale testbed environment, (2) management of resources by a meta-resource provider to accommodate diverse QoS requirements and dynamic resource status over infrastructural network domains, and (3) distributed information management of network and computational resources based on perfSONAR technology.

    283 
    284     Data accessed on the mobile devices is exploding, but current mobile applications do a poor job in conserving energy while ensuring good performance, to satisfy the rapid increase in the frequency and volume of data access. The cloud services accessed by these applications consider neither the role of mobile operator’s network nor the mobile device state, leading to poor application performance and wastage of network resources. Today’s mobile operator (MO)’s networks are no longer “dumb pipes” but are connected to data centers with large amount of resources. We argue that this disruptive change makes MO’s network increasingly resemble a cloud computing infrastructure. We propose a storage platform called Infinity that can be used by service providers to effectively exploit the mobile operator’s network, while saving energy on the mobile devices.

    299     In a software defined network, packet forwarding methods can be changed on the fly to suit the needs of different traffic types. Not only can such a network redirect traffic's path, but it can also inject software agents in the forwarding path to provide additional services. At Clemson, we developed a solution to seamlessly enhance end-to-end data transport throughput across wide area networks. By decoupling end user and the core network's choice of transport protocols, the network provider can seamlessly enhance end users' experienced performance without requiring them to upgrade to unfamiliar new transport protocols.

     421'''Abstract'''
     422    Network community needs a flexible platform for network experiment of new architectures, algorithms and protocols in the research of network innovation. However, building such a platform faces lots of challenges due to its complicate requirements. In this poster, we present TUNIE, a network testbed for rapid concurrent experiment of network innovation on virtualized programmable infrastructure in China. !ExpoNet provides end-to-end slice including wired and wireless components, which integrates both software- and hardware-based router virtualization technologies to provide a flexible approach to configure and customize both the control plane and data plane while satisfying various experiment requirements. In the wireless part, we have a sensor testbed including 100 wireless sensor nodes, and a !WiFi testbed. In the wired part, we have setup one !OpenFlow network, and two virtualization testbed based on multi-core servers and FPGA data plane. In our current platform implementation, we have four sites, two sites in Tsinghua University, one another university of BUPT, and one in China Union, one of the largest Service Providers in China. We have setup a Federation plan to extend our platform with other Universities and companies like HUST, Huawei, etc.

    401 
    402 One fundamental requirement of any research or production network architecture is visibility: the ability to observe the performance of a network over time. This fact becomes even more evident when abnormalities in a network become prevalent. These can include classic broadcast storms from an operator's perspective or irresponsiveness of nodes within a slice from an experimenter's point of view.  To date, a plethora of network tools including iperf, nuttcap, ping, Ganglia, and Nagios are available to provide much needed insights into a network's performance.  However, these tools are tailored for "barebone" network components. In GENI, users are provided "slices" which will contain some subset of virtualized, programmable computing resources. For this reason, there exist an emerging class of "visibility" tools dedicated towards monitoring, within a slice context.  Among other tools, we use LAMP, adapted from perfSONAR, to manage and visualize I&M services and data. In particular, we create a reference slice which spans the GENI !OpenFlow backbone to provide experimenters a somewhat "ideal" view of the network's health. Among other uses, we envision that in such cases as network connectivity irregularities within a user's slice, they can quickly refer to the reference slice as a troubleshooting guide.

    418 '''Abstract'''
    419     Developments in power grid measurement and monitoring technology have enabled precise and frequent measurement of the state of the power grid.  Modern power grid control infrastructure are insufficient to the effective forwarding of this information to the necessary control facilities.  The GridStat framework offers an efficient, low-latency data forwarding framework that can provide the necessary Quality of Service for control facilities to maintain sub-second status of monitored power grid substations.  However, the current GridStat prototypes have not been tested outside local clusters.  The GENI infrastructure provide the platform through which it is possible to test GridStat at scale and identify problems with the current framework.

    431 '''Abstract'''
    432     This project is concerned with dynamic bandwidth allocation in multi-domain networks. We have been designing and developing the algorithms to minimize the total cost of network bandwidth when satisfying the requirements of Quality of Service (QoS) predefined in the Service Level Agreement (SLA). An SLA is a contract negotiated between a network service provider and customers. The goal of this research is to evaluate the performance of these bandwidth allocation algorithms by a use of the GENI infrastructure. We have conducted experiments for the validation of percentile delay calculations as well as the evaluation of Additive Increase/Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD)-based bandwidth allocation algorithms. Furthermore, by using the research experiments of this project, we have designed GENI educational experiments that have been used in networking courses at RIT.

    443 '''Abstract'''
    444    The MAX project has constructed the "Mid-Atlantic Crossroads GENI (MAX GENI) Facility" which enables the MAX Regional Network resources to be made available for GENI experiments.   This includes development of a MAX Aggregate Manager which integrates the dynamic provision of network and host based resources. The host based resources include !PlanetLab node virtual slices.  MAX Network Stitching capabilities allow the host resources to be stitched together with Ethernet VLANs.  The MAX AM is also federated with !PlanetLab Princeton and ProtoGENI.   In addition, a separate instance of a MAX Aggregate Manager has been deployed to "cover" the Internet2 ION Network.This combination of these capabilities now allows us to provide multi-aggregate sliver creation and stitching operations in response to Experimenters requests.
