    77In the Spring of 2008 several of us made a pilgrimage to [http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/ CNRI] to talk about GENI to meet some Internet luminaries and talk about GENI.   (That was the last time I saw Jay Lepreau, bless him.)   As I recall, Vint Cerf was eloquent and animated on the theme that what is (or was) new in GENI is describing and reasoning about virtualized resources and their configurations.   (Federation is another challenge, but that is mostly a question of [AuthStoryBoard figuring out how to use prior work].)

    9 GENI is all about heterogeneous deeply programmable virtualized infrastructure resources, also known as programmable substrate.   These words are taken from my favorite [attachment:wiki:WorryingSlivers GENI Vision slide (pdf)], which is now four years old and which I have been using for almost as long.  (If anyone remembers the history of this slide, I would like to know it.)

    1111So, what is a virtualized infrastructure resource?    Well, that's a good question.  In fact, it was the question Vint Cerf asked us in Reston, and so it must be a good question.  He said that defining what we mean by "network virtual resource" and describing such resources are the key challenges for GENI.   I don't want to put words in his mouth.  But it's in my notes.
