5 | | GENI Spiral 3 is the third phase of exploratory rapid-prototyping that is defining GENI’s technical and operational plans. Spiral 3’s primary goal is on supporting experimenter use of GENI infrastructure, including growing the resources available for use and making them easier for experimenters to acquire, connect, and configure. Work in Spiral 3 should improve the integration, operations, tools, and documentation of GENI prototypes to lower the barriers of use. In general, encouraging and supporting experimental use should take priority over adding additional new capabilities. Software development for this period will focus on implementation of common APIs, integration with the GENI Meta-Operations Center, definition of an instrumentation and measurement architecture and implementing interoperable approaches to resource description, authorization, and network stitching. The GENI ‘’Meso-scale deployment’’ projects are in their second year and will continue their efforts to deploy, integrate, and begin operations of OpenFlow switches and WiMax base stations on several university campuses. |
