Sponsored by Cisco Systems®, the competition at the 22nd Global Environment for Network Innovators (GENI) Engineering Conference (GEC22) aims to discover, develop and encourage talent in developing innovative applications. GENI provides a virtual laboratory for networking and distributed systems research and education. It is well suited for exploring networks at scale, thereby promoting innovations in network science, security, services and applications.
The GENI Competition Objective is to design, build and launch a unique application by:
- Obtaining compute resources from locations around the United States;
- Connecting compute resources using Layer 2 networks in topologies best suited to their experiments;
- Installing custom software or even custom operating systems on these compute resources;
- Controlling how network switches in their experiment handle traffic flows; and
- Running their own Layer 3 and above protocols by installing protocol software into their compute resources and providing flow controllers for the switches.
