10. GENI’s Critical Technical Risks These risks drive the Prototyping Goals for GENI Spiral 1 GEC3www.geni.net10 GENI Clearinghouse Components Aggregate A Computer Cluster Components Aggregate B Backbone Net Components Aggregate C Metro Wireless Create my slice Critical Risk #1 Clearinghouse & control framework is central but never demonstrated Critical Risk #1 Clearinghouse & control framework is central but never demonstrated Critical Risk #2 End-to-end slices across multiple technologies have never been demonstrated Critical Risk #2 End-to-end slices across multiple technologies have never been demonstrated

11. Key Goals for GENI Spiral 1 Drive down the critical technical risks in GENI’s concept GEC3www.geni.net11 GENI Clearinghouse Components Aggregate A Computer Cluster Components Aggregate B Backbone Net Components Aggregate C Metro Wireless Create my slice Goal #1 Fund multiple, competing teams to develop GENI Clearinghouse technology, encourage strong competition within the first few spirals Goal #1 Fund multiple, competing teams to develop GENI Clearinghouse technology, encourage strong competition within the first few spirals Goal #2 Demonstrate end-to-end slices across representative samples of the major substrates / technologies envisioned in GENI; Spiral 1 employs VLANs as “low hanging fruit” Goal #2 Demonstrate end-to-end slices across representative samples of the major substrates / technologies envisioned in GENI; Spiral 1 employs VLANs as “low hanging fruit”

13. Why five control frameworks? The control plane provides a critical capability We don’t yet have agreement on several high- level issues –E.g., Aspects of federation, Identity, centralization vs. distribution of services Implementation experience is really important to inform design choices –We want ‘running code’ GEC3www.geni.net13
