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 the 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. == MULTIFLOW TCP (MULTIFLOW) == ''Demo Participants:'' Srinivasan Ramasubramanian, Abishek Gopalan, Theodore Elhourani [[BR]] ''Affiliation:'' University of Arizona 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. == The Hive Mind: Applying a Distributed Security Sensor Network to GENI (HIVE) == ''Demo Participants:'' Sean Peisert [[BR]] ''Affiliations:'' University of California, Davis, Battelle, CA Labs, CA Inc. This demo is regarding Milestone 1 of Year 2 == iGENI: A Distributed Network Research Infrastructure for the Global Environment for Network Innovation (iGENI) == ''Demo Participants:'' Joe Mambretti, Maxine Brown, Thomas A. !DeFanti [[BR]] ''Affiliations:'' Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Chicago, California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) 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.

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.

SCAFFOLD provides flow-based anycast with (possibly moving) service instances, yet allows addresses to change over time as instances fail, recover, or move. This demo showcases our SCAFFOLD prototype -- which includes an end-host network stack (built as extensions to Linux and the BSD socket API) and a network infrastructure (built on top of OpenFlow and NOX) -- and how SCAFFOLD handles service dynamism among replicated services. == Exploiting Insecurity to Secure Software Update Systems (SecureUpdates) == ''Demo Participants:'' Justin Cappos, Geremy Condra [[BR]] ''Affiliation:'' University of Washington Every piece of GENI receives software updates, sometimes through multiple mechanisms. Unfortunately, insecure software updaters are prevalent today on GENI (and the Internet as a whole), making it easy for a malicious attacker to compromise systems. This project focuses on providing secure and timely software updates to GENI systems. == A !ShadowBox-based ProtoGENI Instrumentation and Measurement Infrastructure (SHADOW) == ''Demo Participants:'' James Griffioen, Zongming Fei, Jacobus van der Merwe [[BR]] ''Affiliations:'' University of Kentucky, AT&T Research, Internet2 * [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Shadow/gec9poster.pdf Poster] * [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Shadow/gec9_handout.pdf Handout] GENI !ShadowNet Demo - "Internet in a Slice": Experiments often want to emulate a wide-area network that consists of multiple ASes running realistic intra and inter domain routing protocols. We will demonstrate how the GENI !ShadowNet Juniper routers can be used to create a set of networks (ASes) that have all the essential components and protocols that make up the Internet.
