Future Internet Research and Experiments EU vs USA

1. Future Internet Research and ExperimentsEU vs USA 7 June, 2012 Róbert Szabó Dept. of Telecommunications and Media Informatics Budapest University of Technology and Economics

2. Agenda • My personal interpretation of the Open Platforms for Innovation sessionat FIA Aalborg Robert Szabo (BME-TMIT) <robert.szabo@tmit.bme.hu>

3. Programs EU USA GENI IGNITE • FI – PPP Robert Szabo (BME-TMIT) <robert.szabo@tmit.bme.hu>

4. FI – PPP (EU) • Industry driven initiative set to build an open Future Internet network and service platform • Platform instances validation in large scale real-life trials • Broad-based collection of Future Internet technical requirements • Identification of legal, regulatory and standardization requirements • Modeling novel business models and value networks • New methods and tools to engage SMEs and foster entrepreneurship • Explorative funding instrument to do research create communities Source: Dr. Petra Turkama, Aalto University, CONCORD CSA Robert Szabo (BME-TMIT) <robert.szabo@tmit.bme.hu>

5. GENI – Infrastructure (USA) “Exploring Networks of the FutureThe start of GENI campus expansion” • GENI is a virtual laboratory for exploring future internets at scale • GENI opens up huge new opportunities • Leading-edge research in next-generation internets • Rapid innovation in novel, large-scale applications CAMPUS!!!

7. How to Sponsor the Industry? (incentives) • EU • Direct involvement • USA • By orders from the programs • The research community decides what to use  what to order • E.g., Open Flow enabled switches and routers Robert Szabo (BME-TMIT) <robert.szabo@tmit.bme.hu>

9. GENI architecture ISP Internet • Flexible network / cloud research infrastructure • Also suitable for physics, genomics, other domain science • Support “hybrid circuit” model plus much more (OpenFlow) • Distributed cloud (racks) for content caching, acceleration, etc. Metro Research Backbones g Layer 2 Data Plane GENI-enabled hardware g Legend Layer 3 Control Plane g Campus Regional Networks Source: Chip Elliott, GENI Project Director

10. GENI “at scale” • Suggest 100-200 US campuses as target for “at scale” • Both academia and national labs • GENI-enable the campuses • Their students, faculty, staff can then “live in the future” using both today’s Internet and many experiments • Build out backbones, regionals, and shared clouds to support the campuses Source: Chip Elliott, GENI Project Director

11. How can we afford / build GENI at sufficient scale? Clearly infeasible to build research testbed “as big as the Internet” Therefore we are “GENI-enabling” testbeds, commercial equipment, campuses, regional and backbone networks Students are early adopters / participants in at-scale experiments Key strategy for building an at-scale suite of infrastructure HP ProCurve 5400 Switch NEC WiMAX Base Station Enabling “at scale” experiments GENI-enabled equipment GENI-enabled campuses, students as early adopters “At scale” GENI prototype Source: Chip Elliott, GENI Project Director

12. US IGNITE • Science: Advances in networking and systems research will be enabled through experimentation and explorations at scale on unique network infrastructure. • Innovation: Leveraging previous NSF-investments in the GENI network will allow use of an open testbed available across the globe for experiments in future networks; will enable deployment and evaluation of gigabit applications that were previously not possible. • Societal Benefit: Applications in national priority areas (e.g., health and wellbeing, emergency preparedness, advanced manufacturing, energy, education and workforce development, transportation) may have profound, long-term social and economic impacts.

15. FI PPP First Year Achivements • Negotiation and implementation of FI PPP Collaboration Agreement and Governance structures • Selection of Advisory Board • Release the first set of requirements • Release the first platform instances • Cross-project collaborations in Working Groups and workshops • Identification of potential test beds for experimentation • Promotion of FI PPP in various forums and communities • Building links and finding synergies with related initiatives ??? Robert Szabo (BME-TMIT) <robert.szabo@tmit.bme.hu>

16. Conclusions • Support research at Universities and Research Labs • Support experiments at campuses • Go large scale and open • Let the industry find profitable business in the above Robert Szabo (BME-TMIT) <robert.szabo@tmit.bme.hu>
