Evans, Rick McMullen, Baek-Young Choi, Jim Archuleta, Andrew Scott [[BR]] Demonstration of GpENI (Great Plains Environment for Network Innovation) programmable testbed for future Internet research. GpENI is an international testbed centered on a Midwest US regional optical network that is programmable at all layers of the protocol stack, using PlanetLab, VINI, and DCN, and interconnected to ProtoGENI in the US and G-Lab and ResumeNet? in Europe.

[[BR]] Affiliatoin(s): The University of Kansas, Kansas State University, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, Great Plains Network, Ciena Government Solutions, Qwest Government Services, KanREN, MOREnet, Lancaster University, ETH Zurich == GENI/Ecalyptus Federated Resource Allocation (GENICloud) == ''Demo Participants:'' Alvin Au Young, Andy Bavier, Jessica Blaine, James Kempf, Joe Mambretti, Rick McGeer, Alex Snoeren, Marco Yuen [[BR]] GENICloud is a flexible, SFA-based cloud environment running at HP OpenCirrus?, UCSD, and Northwestern. In this demo we will show the capabilities of the GENICloud environment by showing a multi-site cloud-based transcoding application, that will be shown on both the show floor and available to any participant with an Internet connection. [[BR]] Affiliation(s): HP Labs, PlanetWorks, U.C. San Diego, U. of Victoria, U. of Illinois, Urbana- Champaing == GENIViolin == ''Demo Participants:'' ? [[BR]] GENI-VIOLIN's goal is to build an In-network suspend and resume infrastructure for GENI experiments. This project is part of the GENI-alpha plenary session for GEC9. Current GENI experiments cannot be suspended/resumed, and often have to be restarted from beginning, if failures occur in the infrastructure. GENI-VIOLIN solves this problem, by providing "live snapshot" capability to GENI experiments running in GENI slices for fault tolerance, debugging and slice management. GENI-VIOLIN provides the suspend/resume functionality to GENI experiments, with minimal disruption to application performance, while being completely transparent to the application and guest operating systems. During GEC9, we will show suspend/resume functionality that is completely in the network by exploiting Openflow. GENIVIOLIN requires minimal hypervisor support from the end-hosts. We will show a demo of suspend/resume over two sites (Utah and BBN Emulabs) that are geographically separated. Affiliation(s): ? == MULTIFLOW TCP == ''Demo Participants:'' ? [[BR]] We demonstrate the feasibility of multipath TCP from the application level with the support at the network level. The network routes packets based on destination address and last bit of the destination port #. Packets destined to odd and even port numbers are guaranteed to take disjoint paths. With this support, applications can interact using two TCP sockets that establish connections to an odd and even port, thus increasing the end-to-end throughput. The application layer is responsible for splitting and merging the traffic among the different TCP streams, while the individual TCP streams are responsible for reliable transport within the stream. [[BR]] Affiliation(s): ? == The Hive Mind: Applying a Distributed Security Sensor Network to GENI == ''Demo Participants:'' Sean Peisert [[BR]] This demo is regarding Milestone 1 of Year 2 [[BR]] Affiliation(s): University of Califronia, Davis, Battelle, CA Labs, CA Inc. == iGENI: A Distributed Network Research Infrastructure for the Global Environment for Network Innovation == ''Demo Participants:'' Joe Mambretti, Maxine Brown, Thomas A. DeFanti [[BR]] iGENI GEC 9 Demonstrations The iGENI dynamic network provisioning demonstrations showcase capabilities for large scale (national and international) multiple domain dynamic provisioning, including L1/L2 path involving multiple sites, using specialized signaling and implementation techniques. Dynamic Provisioning for the iGENI Cluster D Network In partnership with RENCI (Renaissance Computing Institute), Duke University, the University of Massachusetts, and other D-Cluster participants, iGENI Consortium has implemented the Open Resource Control Architecture (ORCA) control framework at the StarLight?? international exchange facility and it is supporting a demonstration of flexible, programmable heterogeneous networking among multiple national and international sites, including dynamic path provisioning. Several iGENI demonstrations will showcase this dynamic provisioning. Highly Scalable Network Research TransCloud??

Affiliation(s): Indiana University, ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) , KISTI (Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information) == Mid-Atlantic Network Facility for Research, Experimentation, and Development (MANFRED) == ''Demo Participants:'' Peter O'Neil, Tom Lehman [[BR]] In this demonstration we will show how the PlanetLab SFI/SFA can be used to submit requests to the Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX) GENI Aggregate Manager for the purpose of dynamic instantiation of an experiment topology. The dynamically instantiated topology will be constructed from a diverse set of resources including PlanetLab slices, dynamically provisioned network paths across the MAX network, and dynamically provisioned network paths across ProtoGENI.

[[BR]] Affiliation(s): Georgia Institute of Technology == OpenFlow Campus Trials at Indiana University == ''Demo Participants:'' Christopher Small, Matthew Davy, Dave Jent [[BR]] The deployment and operation of new network technologies will require new tools and procedures to run them. We will demonstrate mechanisms to automatically collect statistics from OpenFlow aggregates and make the statistics available to the researchers and other projects. Affiliation: Indiana University == OpenFlow Campus Trials at Stanford University == ''Demo Participants:'' Nick McKeown, Guru Parulkar [[BR]] We will demonstrate a series of OpenFlow controller software for use in GENI experiments, where variation of OpenFlow controllers should be helpful for wide range of experiments. This demonstration will exhibit individual demonstrations of multiple OpenFlow controllers at least including NOX with SNAC (Stanford), Beacon (Stanford) and Helios (NEC Lab). In the demo, each controller will highlight their features so that the researcher can decide which controller is the best for them. This demonstration is jointly done by Stanford University and NEC. [[BR]] Affiliation: Stanford University == OpenFlow Campus Trials at University of Washington == ''Demo Participants:" Arvind Krishnamurthy, Tom Anderson, Clare Donahue, Art Dong, Vjeko Brajkovic [[BR]] We present a system for securely and efficiently managing network resources at a +packet granularity. [[BR]] Affiliation: University of Washington == OpenFlow Campus Trials at University of Wisconsin == ''Demo Participants:" Aditya Akella, Perry Brunelli, Hideko Mills, Theo Benson, Mike Blodgett [[BR]] Offloading is a widely proposed solution for coping with the increased demands emerging mobile applications place on these resource constrained defines. However, existing systems have not been widely adopted because (i) they lack mechanisms to ensure data privacy, and (ii) they pay little attention to the decision of where to offload. We have developed an enterprise framework to opportunistically leverage available computational resources and offer both security guarantees and performance/energy improvements to smartphone users. Our demonstration showcases our central controller which assigns offloading tasks based on resource availability and an administrator specified security policy. We show security is maintained and available resources are maximally leveraged.
