GENI
GENI, the Global Environment for Network Innovations, is using NLR's national optical infrastructure as the platform for experiments on supporting a wide variety of advanced research, including in communications, networking, distributed systems, cyber-security, and networked services and applications.
NLR provides GENI with up to 30Gbps of capacity on three different networks. At layer 2, NLR and Cisco are providing non-dedicated prototype abilities on two unique network infrastructures, FrameNet and CWave. NLR's FrameNet supports up to 10Gbps of nondedicated configurable Virtual Private Network services to GENI's Development and Prototyping engineering teams. Cisco's CWave provides up to an additional 10Gbps on a breakable, configurable MPLS network, a unique opportunity for teams to test prototype software on a national infrastructure. At Layer 3, GENI researchers can access up to 10Gbps of bandwidth on NLR's PacketNet.
