1 Looking Beyond the Internet The Rise of Software-Defined Infrastructure Chip Elliott, BBN

2 My thesis Software Defined Networking (SDN) was just an opening act A major transformation of the Internet has begun Creating many NEW research opportunities! Looking Beyond the Internet Chip Elliott <celliott@bbn.com> 2

3 Where I am coming from - GENI Funds in hand Need funding Self funding As of 2/2014 We ve built out GENI through 50+ universities across the US Looking Beyond the Internet Chip Elliott <celliott@bbn.com> 3

4 Slices and deep programmability Install the software I want throughout my network slice (into firewalls, routers, clouds, ) And keep my slice isolated from your slice, so we don t interfere with each other We can run many different future internets in parallel Looking Beyond the Internet Chip Elliott <celliott@bbn.com> 4

5 Agile, deeply programmable infrastructure Emerging technologies that enable coherent network / processor / storage virtualization provide a great basis for agile cyber infrastructure.

6 Slices span many organizational boundaries My experiment runs across the evolving GENI federation. Campus #3 Commercial Clouds Campus Backbone #1 My GENI Slice Access #1 Corporate GENI suites Research Testbed NSF parts of GENI Backbone #2 Campus #2 Other-Nation Projects This approach looks remarkably familiar... Goals: avoid technology lock in, add new technologies as they mature, and potentially grow quickly by incorporating existing infrastructure into the overall GENI ecosystem Looking Beyond the Internet Chip Elliott 6
