| 1369 | |
| 1370 | <p class=MsoNormal>This document defines the GENI control framework subsystem, |

| 1372 | in the GENI Facility Control Framework working group. Once approved, it can be |
| 1373 | used as a guide to judge the completeness of prototype control framework |
| 1374 | designs, and as a guide to their continued evolution.</p> |

| 1822 | </span>GENI Core Concepts</a></h1> |
| 1823 | |
| 1824 | <p class=MsoNormal>The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a |
| 1825 | suite of experimental network research infrastructure now being planned and |
| 1826 | prototyped. GENI prototyping is sponsored by the National Science Foundation to |
| 1827 | support experimental research in network science and engineering.</p> |
| 1828 | |
| 1829 | <p class=MsoNormal>As envisioned in these community plans, this suite will |
| 1830 | support a wide range of network science and engineering experiments such as new |
| 1831 | protocols and data dissemination techniques running over a substantial |
| 1832 | fiber-optic infrastructure with next-generation optical switches, novel |
| 1833 | high-speed routers, city-wide experimental urban radio networks, high-end |
| 1834 | computational clusters, and sensor grids. All infrastructure are envisioned to |
| 1835 | be shared among a large number of individual, simultaneous experiments with |
| 1836 | extensive instrumentation that makes it easy to collect, analyze, and share |
| 1837 | real measurements.</p> |
| 1838 | |
| 1839 | <p class=MsoNormal>Core concepts for a GENI infrastructure suite have been |
| 1840 | established:</p> |

| 1843 | style='font-family:Symbol'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> |
| 1844 | </span></span><b>Programmability</b> – researchers may download software into |
| 1845 | GENI-compatible nodes to control how those nodes behave; </p> |
| 1846 | |

| 1848 | style='font-family:Symbol'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> |
| 1849 | </span></span><b>Virtualization and Other Forms of Resource Sharing </b>– |
| 1850 | whenever feasible, nodes implement virtual machines, which allow multiple |
| 1851 | researchers to simultaneously share the infrastructure; and each experiment |
| 1852 | runs within its own, isolated slice created end-to-end across the experiment’s |
| 1853 | GENI resources; </p> |
| 1854 | |
| 1855 | <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in'><span |
| 1856 | style='font-family:Symbol'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> |
| 1857 | </span></span><b>Federation</b> – different parts of the GENI suite are owned |
| 1858 | and/or operated by different organizations, and the NSF portion of the GENI |
| 1859 | suite forms only a part of the overall “ecosystem”; and</p> |

| 1862 | style='font-family:Symbol'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> |
| 1863 | </span></span><b>Slice-based Experimentation</b> – GENI experiments will be an |
| 1864 | interconnected set of reserved resources on platforms in diverse locations. |
| 1865 | Researchers will remotely discover, reserve, configure, program, debug, |
| 1866 | operate, manage, and teardown distributed systems established across parts of |
| 1867 | the GENI suite.</p> |

| 1954 | experiments isolated from one another. In addition, each slice requires its own |
| 1955 | set of experiment support services. Furthermore, as shown in Slice B, “opt-in” |
| 1956 | users may join the experiment running in a slice, and thus be associated with that |

| 2294 | has 100 hosts (components), and that it has assigned resources on Host 29 (a |

| 2943 | |
| 2944 | <p class=MsoNormal>The control framework provides for federated aggregates (and |

| 3231 | <p class=Tabletext>An <i>aggregate</i> is an object representing a group of |

| 3234 | contain either components or other aggregates. Aggregates provide a way for |
| 3235 | users, developers, or administrators to view a collection of GENI nodes |
| 3236 | together with some software-defined behavior as a single identifiable unit. |
| 3237 | Generally aggregates export at least a component interface‚ i.e., they can be |
| 3238 | addressed as a component‚ although aggregates may export other interfaces, as |
| 3239 | well. Aggregates also may include (controllable) instrumentation and make |
| 3240 | measurements available. This document makes broad use of aggregates for |
| 3241 | operations and management. Internally, these aggregates may use any O&M |
| 3242 | systems they find useful. </p> |

| 3512 | <p class=Tabletext>From a researcher's perspective, a <i>slice</i> is a |
| 3513 | substrate-wide network of computing and communication resources capable of |
| 3514 | running one or more experiments or a wide-area network service. From an |
| 3515 | administrator's perspective, slices are the primary abstraction for |
| 3516 | accounting and accountability—resources are acquired and consumed by slices, |
| 3517 | and external program behavior is traceable to a slice. A slice is defined by |
| 3518 | a set of slivers spanning a set of network components, plus an associated set |
| 3519 | of users that are allowed to access those slivers for the purpose of running |
| 3520 | an experiment on the substrate. That is, a slice has a name, which is bound |
| 3521 | to a set of users associated with the slice and a (possibly empty) set of |
| 3522 | slivers.</p> |

| 3533 | <p class=Tabletext>It shall be possible to share component resources among |
| 3534 | multiple users. This can be done by a combination of virtualizing the |
| 3535 | component (where each user acquires a virtual copy of the component's |
| 3536 | resources), or by partitioning the component into distinct resource sets |
| 3537 | (where each user acquires a distinct partition of the component’s resources). |
| 3538 | In both cases, we say the user is granted a <i>sliver</i> of the component. |
| 3539 | Each component shall include hardware or software mechanisms that isolate |
| 3540 | slivers from each other, making it appropriate to view a sliver as a |
| 3541 | “resource container.”</p> |

| 3552 | <p class=Tabletext>An important feature of GENI is to permit experiments to |
| 3553 | have access to end-user traffic and behaviors. For examples, end users may |
| 3554 | access an experimental service, use experimental access technologies, or |
| 3555 | allow experimental code to run on their computer or handset. GENI will |
| 3556 | provide tools to allow users to learn about an experiment’s risks and to make |
