  1. Research ActivitiesPlanetLab/GENI Aki Nakao Univ. of Tokyo / NICT AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  2. Outline • PlanetLab • GENI • Similar Research Activity in Japan and Asia AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  3. PlanetLab • The largest and most popular overlay network testbed • Currently consists of 863 nodes at 447 sites • 800+ Projects/ 1000+ Researchers • JGN2/NICT collocate overlay nodes in Japan • Several Universities in Japan have joined 863 nodes 447 sites 40+ countries 1000+ researchers 800+ Projects AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  4. Brief History of PlanetLab • PlanetLab 1.0 (2002-3) • UNIX account slivers • PlanetLab 2.0 (2003-4) • Vserver slivers • PlanetLab 3.0 (2004-2006) • PLCAPI 1.0 • PlanetLab 4.0 (2007-) • MyPLC1.0 • Federation Idea • PlanetLab 4.2 (2008) • Federation (PLE, PLJ, (PLK, PLC,=>PLA?)) • New Development (RSpec/GENI-wrapper, New Node Type, Monitoring, QA,VINI) We are here AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  5. New Generation Network and Overlay Network Test-bed • What is Overlay Network Testbed for ? Innovation Feedback Cycle Creation of Ideas Limitations in Prior Models Evaluation at Labs Publish Evaluation at Planetary Scale Acquire Users (Pilot Services) Overlay Test-beds Enables These Establish Innovative Business Contributions to Society New Generation Network Our Goals AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  7. What made PlanetLab successful? • Centralized trust • Centralized resource control • Decentralized management (unbundled management) • The bandwidth as free • Provide only best-effort service • Make Linux the execution environment • Do not provide distributed OS services (up to users) • Evolve the API • Self-Scaling Architecture [Tom Anderson, Timothy Roscoe, “Learning from PlanetLab”, WORLDS’06] [Aki Nakao] AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  8. Self-Scaling Architecture (as in P2P) • Consortium • Loosely bound • Membership Agreement • Donate a few resources • At least two machines (minimum H/W requirement) • Bandwidth • “Tit-for-Tat” • Resource reciprocity • The more join, the more useful the system becomes • Primary incentives in P2P applications AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  10. PlanetLab New Generation • PlanetLabNG = GENI Prototype • PlanetLab 4.2 + geniwrapper • PLC wrapper: prototype done, integration underway • NM wrapper: prototype in progress • Wrapper includes… • interfaces • namespaces • security mechanisms • Migration plan • seed registries from PLC’s DB • Current and new interfaces coexist • unbundle PLC over time • experiment with peering [PlanetLab Developer's Meeting May 13-14, 2008 (Princeton University) Overview, Deconstructing PLC and Meeting Notes (Larry Peterson)] AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  11. GENI (briefly) with courtesy to GPO • Global Environment for Network Innovation • How we use GENI, how we build GENI? • GENI Spiral 1 / Prototype • Disclaimer: I have been granted permission to use these slides from Chip Elliott and Aaron Falk And present these on behalf of them so that we share what is going on outside Asia. AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  12. The GENI VisionA national-scale suite of facilities to explore radical designsfor a future global networking infrastructure Sensor Network Federated International Infrastructure Edge Site Mobile Wireless Network Virtualized Deeply programmable Programmable & federated, with end-to-end virtualized “slices” Heterogeneous, and evolving over time via spiral development AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  13. How to use GENI: A bright idea I have a great idea! The original Internet architecture was designed to connect one computer to another – but a better architecture would be fundamentally based on PEOPLE and CONTENT! That will never work! It won’t scale! What about security? It’s impossible to implement or operate! Show me! AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  14. Trying it out My new architecture worked great in the lab, so now I’m going to try a larger experiment for a few months. And so he poured his experimental software into clusters of CPUs and disks, bulk data transfer devices (‘routers’), and wireless access devices throughout the GENI suite, and started taking measurements . . . He uses a modest slice of GENI, sharing its facilities with many other concurrent experiments. AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  15. It turns into a really good idea Boy did I learn a lot! I’ve published papers, the architecture has evolved in major ways, and I’m even attracting real users! Location-based social networks are really cool! His experiment grew larger and continued to evolve as more and more real users opted in . . . His slice of GENI keeps growing, but GENI is still running many other concurrent experiments. AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  16. Experiment turns into reality My experiment was a real success, and my architecture turned out to be mostly compatible with today’s Internet after all – so I’m taking it off GENI and spinning it out as a real company. I always said it was a good idea, but way too conservative. AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  17. Moral of this story GENI is meant to enable . . . Trials of new architectures, which may or may notbe compatible with today’s Internet Long-running, realistic experiments with enough instrumentation to provide real insights and data ‘Opt in’ for real users into long-running experiments Large-scale growth for successful experiments, so good ideas can be shaken down at scale A reminder . . . GENI itself is not an experiment ! GENI is a suite of facilities on which experiments run GENI creates a huge opportunity for ambitious research! AsianFI 2008 Summer School

  18. GENI Spiral 1 has now begun!First results expected in 6-12 months GENI Project Office Announces $12M forCommunity-Based GENI Prototype Development July 22, 2008 The GENI Project Office, operated by BBN Technologies, an advanced technologies solutions firm, announced today that it has been awarded a three year grant worth approximately $4M a year from the US National Science Foundation to perform GENI design and risk-reduction prototyping. The funds will be used to contract with 29 university-industrial teams selected through an open, peer-reviewed process. The first year funding will be used to construct GENI Spiral 1, a set of early, functional prototypes of key elements of the GENI system. AsianFI 2008 Summer School
