Education

GENI Cinema

This demo shows how SDN can be used to implement a live video streaming service for streaming and switching between classroom lectures.

Video streaming over the Internet, be it static or live streaming, is rapidly increasing in popularity. Many video streaming services exist to serve a variety of needs, such as video conferencing, entertainment, education, and the broadcast of live events. These services rely heavily on the server application to adapt to increasing and decreasing demand for a particular video resource. Furthermore, they require the reallocation of resources and the restart of the stream when a client stops, starts, and/or switches to a different stream. SDN and specifically OpenFlow can be creatively used to reallocate some of these tasks to the network and link layers.

Our goal is to provide a scalable service for GENI using OpenFlow that supports the broadcast of live video streams from an arbitrary number of video-producers to an arbitrary number of video-consumers, where video- consumers can change “channels” without disrupting their existing stream and without affecting the load on a particular video stream source.

GENI Desktop

This demo shows a unified interface for accessing GENI resources and managing GENI experiments.

The GENI Desktop provides a unified interface and environment for experimenters to create, control, manage, interact with and measure the performance of GENI slices. We will demonstrate the newly implemented command line interface of the GENI Desktop to control, manage and measure the performance of GENI slices. In addition, we will demo new features implemented as a part of the Adopt-A-GENI (AAG) project.

Participants:

Virtual Computer Networks Lab

This demo shows assignments that are designed for the use of GENI testbeds in the classroom.

Attendees interested in using GENI for education should attend this demo. In this demo we will present assignments that we have created within the scope of our GENI Virtual Computer Networks Lab. These assignments are executed on GENI testbeds and can be used by teachers in their Computer Networks or Distributed Systems classes. In addition to the assignments we will demonstrate LabWiki and how it can be used by students to execute the assignments. We will also demonstrate LabWiki’s features that support teachers in setting up and evaluating assignments.

Participants:

Exhaustive demonstration of the full features provided by VTS across the GENI testbed.

Attendees interested in rich networking experiments on the GENI testbed should attend. This demonstration will outline all the features available in GENI through VTS for creating isolated network topologies. This includes (but is not limited to) OpenFlow 1.3 forwarding elements, arbitrary in-path network functions, dynamic control of port failures, statistics reporting, and WAN connectivity.

Participants:

GENI for classes and GENI for the masses

This demo shows two educational offerings available on GENI: the GENI Classroom-as-a-Service on the wireless testbeds (GENI for classes), and the GENI MOOC which includes browser-based lab exercises in a Massive Open Online Class delivery format (GENI for the masses).

Educators and those interested in engineering or computer science and engineering education at all levels. This demo showcases two educational offerings built on GENI and available for general use. The GENI Classroom-as-a-Service is a set of experiments designed to complement traditional courses on computer networks, wireless and mobile computing, or wireless communications. To date, it has been used by hundreds of students in over a dozen classes. We will also demo GENI MOOC, an experiment-based Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on the subject of computer networks, with lab experiments that run on GENI resources. This course is aimed at beginners who want to learn about how the Internet works, students who want an introduction to some research topics in networking, and instructors who may use these browser-based experiments as in-class demonstrations or homework assignments.

Participants:

CloudLab

This demo shows CloudLab, a facility for research on the future of cloud computing.

Attendees interested in research on clouds should attend. CloudLab provides researchers with control and visibility all the way down to the bare metal. Provisioning an entire cloud inside of CloudLab takes only minutes. Most CloudLab resources provide hard isolation from other users, so it can support hundreds of simultaneous "slices", with each getting an artifact-free environment suitable for scientific experimentation with new cloud architectures. Run standard cloud software stacks such as OpenStack and Hadoop. Or, build your own from the ground up. The bare metal's the limit!

Participants:

Education Modules using GENI

This demo shows education modules developed for use in your networking classrooms.

Attendees interested in teaching undergraduate networking courses using hands-on experiments, or demos showing such experiments. This demo shows education modules developed using GENI. If you are teaching undergraduate networking courses, you will find it useful to add one or more of these modules in your class. You can simply show the experiment on video, or use the tutorial to demo the experiment in class, or have the student run the experiments themselves in class, or assign the suggested homework.

Participants:

Network and Service Providers

Prototype of a ChoiceNet Economy Plane for the Future Internet Architecture

This demo shows a working prototype of complete end-to-end interaction of the ChoiceNet entities within an economy plane.

In this prototype we will demonstrate the ChoiceNet message interactions between the three main entities which comprise a ChoiceNet framework: Marketplace, multiple Providers, and Customers. This prototype offers consumers the opportunity to 'choose' from a variety of service offerings. Competition between providers encourage innovative and superior services, which ultimately benefits the customers.

Accurate and timely traffic matrix (TM) measurements provide essential inputs for today’s various network operations. In this demo, we evaluate our traffic measurement paradigm in an OpenFlow-based networks with multiple SDN switches. Our framework will collaboratively use the distributed measurement resources and employ iSTAMP on multiple OpenFlow switches to detect distributed iceberg.

Participants:

ToMaTo on CloudLab

This demo shows the ToMaTo network testbed running on CloudLab infrastructure.

The ToMaTo ( http://tomato-lab.org/) is a network testbed which enables researchers to run their experiment on a specifically designed virtual networking topologies. The ToMaTo consists of a backend which controls multiple ToMaTo hosts and a front-end which allows users to edit and manage their experiment from their browser.

ToMaTo hosts provide virtualization technology and a complete toolset for more advanced experiments. The hosts run ToMaTo software package on existing operating system but installing the software needs bare metal machines and cannot be run in a virtualized environment.

Therefore, CloudLab which provides bare metal machines is suitable for running and scaling ToMaTo hosts infrastructure. The demo will show how ToMaTo hosts are provisioned on demand and runs on CloudLab infrastructure.

Participants:

ARCCN Self-Organized Cloud Platform

This demo shows a working prototype of the cloud orchestration platform with VNF use-case demonstration.

Attendees interested in cloud computing, DC, NFV, SND, network visualization and OpenStack should see this demo.

The Self-organizing cloud platform (SOC) to deploy virtual networks in DC is presented. The platform supports both IaaS mode and PaaS mode. SOC platform uses some components of OpenStack (Nova, Cinder, Keystone, Rabbit Message Queue) in combination with the original specialized components: OpenFlow controller, orchestrator, unified scheduler for consistent resource allocation, graphical user interface (GUI) for network definition, an extensive “sensor” system for physical resources monitoring and management, and modified OpenStack component Neutron.

SOC cloud platform considered in this demo allows us to deploy both manageable and non-manageable virtual networks in the data center. The possibility of virtual resources migration, consistent scheduling and management of computing resources allows one to ensure a high load of physical resources and guaranteed SLA compliance for the network as a whole. A request for virtual network creation can be defined either by means of the network description language or by means of a GUI.

Participants:

Network Troubleshooting with SDN Traceroute Protocol (SDNTrace)

The demo shows a proposed protocol to trace flow paths on a given network composed of SDN network devices.

This demo is of interest to attendees who are interested in network troubleshooting operation of traceroute on SDN boxes. (a) A probe packet is formed to trace a layer 2 frame's path with a proposed SDNTrace protocol. The demo will show a northbound application that processes SDNTrace protocol packets on a network topology created on GENI using VTS. (b) Network troubleshooting is an essential part of network engineers' job with tools such as traceroute, ping, and others. With NSF's investments to upgrade bandwidth and support more orchestrated large science transfers through SDN network devices on campuses, network engineers will be able to utilize our proposed protocol to achieve traceroute functionality. A tracing of paths over SDN network devices is challenging in current deployment experiences. Please see requirements page that inspired and drove this project from the needs assessment of network engineers at Internet2 Technology Exchange meeting in October 2014: Meeting Notes from BoF at TechExchange2014. In addition, a project charter has been published on the Internet2's SDN workgroup page, open for comments and participation in the project from the community: SDNTrace Project Charter Page on Internet2 wg-SDN. The poster of our demo is included here.

Resilience of KanREN OpenFlow network to large-scale disasters

This demo shows the response of the Kansas KanREN network to large-scale disasters using a GUI to draw the area under the disaster.

Attendees interested in network resilience and OpenFlow should attend. Our demo is an interactive visualization system that shows how the KanREN OpenFlow network behaves in the presence of area-based challenges. Our visualization system consists of a Google Map front-end and a server to communicate the events between the front-end and the challenged network. The challenges can be determined by the user using a real-time editable polygon. Furthermore, the visualization system shows real-time performance parameters of the challenged network. When the challenge is applied on the map, the nodes in the polygon will be removed from the underlying OpenFlow network topology. Two controllers are running to monitoring the network and manage the packet forwarding; one is the layer 2 learning switch controller with emulated convergence time, while the other running our geographical routing protocol — GeoDivRP. We present the real-time packet delivery ratio for both of the controllers and demonstrate the effectiveness of our routing mechanism in SDN environment.

SmartFIRE EU-South Korea Cooperation on Future Internet Infrastructure

This poster is to present EU - South Korea cooperation under FIRE project (Future Internet Research and Experimentation = FIRE)

Attendees interested in using different testbeds (like in ex. OpenStack? testbed) should attend. There is an increasing demand from both academic and industrial communities to bridge the gap between visionary research and large-scale experimentation, through experimentally driven advanced research consisting of ‘iterative’ cycles of research, design and experimentation of new networking and service architectures and paradigms addressing all levels, including horizontal research on issues such as system complexity and security.

This approach needs the set-up of large-scale experimental facilities, going beyond individual project testbeds, which are also needed as validation tools, i.e. for interoperability issues. They would help in anticipating possible migration paths for technological developments, which may be potentially disruptive; in discovering new and emerging behaviors and use patterns; as well as in assessing the socioeconomic implications of new technological solutions at an early stage.

FIRE addresses the emerging expectations which are being put upon the Internet, by providing a research environment for investigating and experimentally validating highly innovative and revolutionary ideas.
