VINI: Virtual network Infrastructure

Today's Internet, based on the "narrow waist" of IP, has been an immense success, leading to significant innovation in new applications and services at the network edge. However, evolving the underlying network architecture is remarkably difficult, leading to a fairly brittle infrastructure that is insecure, difficult to manage, and at times unreliable. This talk argues that virtualization offers a way to build flexible, evolvable networks for the future. First, network virtualization allows us to build experimental facilities, such as the proposed GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) initiative, that would allow many researchers to evaluate prototypes of new network architectures in parallel. Second, network virtualization may be a viable long-term platform for supporting multiple network architectures, each customized to particular applications or users. In this talk, we will describe the design and implementation of our VINI testbed, and the deployment in the National Lambda Rail and Abilene Internet2 backbones. We will also discuss how network virtualization enables an economic refactoring of the Internet into infrastructure providers (who manage the physical infrastructure and "lease" virtual nodes and links) and service providers (who construct virtual networks to offer end-to-end services).

Research After Graduate School

This particular panel is being organized with the goal of a discussion that covers "soft skills" required to tackle the major hurdles and jumps in the learning curve a grad-student faces when moving from a comfortable research environment in graduate school to either a tenure-track academic position or a research/development lab. We were interested in highlighting the fact that though, ostensibly both environments are aimed at conducting "research", there are a whole other set of extraneous issues that also need to be dealt with, which can either be a nice experience or may end up placing a significant strain on time/resources/commitment to the extent of taking up all energy, depending on how they are approached. Indeed, the actual "nature" of research work may undergo a fundamental change when one moves out from the solo environment in graduate school. In an academic environment, apart from "research", one needs to figure out : grants, collaborations, students, teaching load etc. On the other hand, in the industrial environment there are certain demands like : deliverables, cost, timelines, topics that can raise questions on research vs. practicality, promotions, salaries etc.

This is something a graduate student typically never encounters in the graduate school environment and usually results in a big jolt in perspective when they move into these environments. By inviting panelists from both sides, we wanted to compare and contrast the nature and importance of such demands placed in either environment and suggestions on how to tackle them before they become a distraction to the actual goal of conducting research.
