The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a suite of research infrastructure components rapidly taking shape in prototype form across the US. It is sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, with the goal of becoming the world’s first laboratory environment for exploring future Internets at scale, promoting innovations in network science, security, technologies, services, a...

In recent years, many research efforts have focused on building experimentation platforms where structural changes to future Internet can be implemented and tested. GENI, instantiated by its prototype implementations, e.g. ProtoGENI, is a notable example of such systems. In this document, we present the PrimoGENI approach; which aims to augment the GENI suite of interoperable infrastructure to ...

Interest-based negotiation (IBN) is a form of negotiation in which agents exchange information about their underlying goals, with a view to improving the likelihood and quality of a deal. While this intuition has been stated informally in much previous literature, there is no formal analysis of the types of deals that can be reached through IBN and how they differ from those reachable using (cl...

This draft is a rapidly evolving work in progress, being made public in order to solicit feedback; comments are welcome and should be directed to the authors: [email protected] and [email protected]. Due to the active editing process, some portions of the document may be logically inconsistent with related documents being produced by other GENI working groups. We would like to thank the GEN...

Since Solomon Ibn Gabirol left the world and Moses Ibn Ezra, Jehudah Halevi, and Abraham Ibn Ezra died, the well of poetry has dried up, inspiration has disappeared, and God’s spirit no longer manifests itself. None of their successors can compare with them. We backward ones, like beggars, gather the crumbs and refuse that have fallen from their table. We hasten day and night over the ways trod...

As computer network experiments increase in complexity and size, it becomes increasingly difficult to fully understand the circumstances under which the experiment was run, particularly when these results are shared for purposes of reproducibility. The provenance of an experiment is its lineage or historical trace [5] that can capture experiment conditions, time ordering, and relationships with...

Experimentation is an invaluable part of learning in all sciences. However, building and maintaining laboratories is expensive, time and space consuming. Moreover, in computer science advances in technology can quickly make the infrastructure obsolete. In this paper we advocate the use of recently deployed public testbeds as remote labs for computer science education. As an example we describe ...

The physical and data link layer of the network stack contain valuable information. SoNIC (Software-defined Network Interface Card) provides software access to these layers by implementing them in software. It provides complete control over network stack in real-time. With SoNIC, we are able to perform precise network measurements. Also, GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) provide...
