GpENI
Description
The Great Plains Environment for Network Innovation – GpENI is an international programmable network testbed centered on a Midwest US regional optical network between the University of Kansas, the Kansas State University, the University of Nebraska/Lincoln, and the University of Missouri/Kansas City. GpENI is a network within the Great Plains Network, supported with optical switches from Ciena interconnected by Qwest fiber infrastructure, in collaboration with the Kansas Research and Education Network (KanREN) and Missouri Research and Education Network. GpENI is undergoing significant expansion to Europe and Asia using various tunneling protocols.
Goal
The main goals of GpENI are to
- build a collaborative research infrastructure in the Great Plains region among GPN and other institutions.
- construct an international programmable network infrastructure enabling GpENI member institutions to conduct experiments in Future Internet Architecture, supporting projects such as PoMo: PostModern Internetwork Architecture and ResumeNet.
- provide programmable optical infrastructure to GpENI members attached to the Midwest optical backbone.
- provide flexible infrastructure to support the GENI program as part of control framework cluster B.
- deploy tools developed by GpENI and GENI community such as Gush for experiment control and Raven for code deployment.
- provide an open environment on which the networking research community can run experiments.
