Abstract—Great Plains Environment for Network Innovation (GpENI) is an international testbed for future Internet research. A key component of GpENI is programmable network virtualization (GpENI-VINI). The scope of this paper is to present the framework, implementation and integration experience with network virtualization in GpENI. In particular, this is described through our experience of implementing and integrating the XORP (eXtensible Open Router Platform) routing platform into GpENI-VINI. Preliminary results on measurements and validation are presented. I.

Abstract—A secure network is considered to be an important goal of the Future Internet; one way this can be embodied is by having flexible and robust routing functionalities with intrinsic security mechanisms. It is also desirable to provide user-centric or service-centric routing capabilities to achieve service-oriented traffic controls as well as trust and policy management for security. Based on these potential needs, a flexible, scalable, and robust routing framework that enables fine-grained flow control under fixed or dynamic policies called the Virtual Trusted Routing and Provisioning Domain (VTRouPD)[11] has been recently proposed. In this paper, we present a framework called the Secure and Resilient Virtual Trust Routing (SeRViTR) framework, which is a proof-of-concept model of VTRouPD at the implementation level. SeRViTR has particular entities that are designed for policy management and trust management between different VTRouPDs to enable a secure Internet. We define the roles of each entity within the SeRViTR framework as well as the messages exchanged between them. We also discuss how policy management and trust negotiation can be achieved. Moreover, we present validation on the functional implementation of several SeRViTR components to illustrate how to create virtual domains and change of trust levels between virtual domains. Index Terms—Secure routing, virtualization, policy and trust management.

majority of future Internet research and development work, research on deploying and extending existing capabilities onto a newly emerging infrastructure becomes more significant. For example, extending the virtual network provisioning capability onto a Geo-distributed programmable layer-2 networking environment (G-PLaNE) is a novel attempt and is different from in a single domain system. In this paper, we aim to illustrate how to construct the virtual networking environment upon our self-designed resource provisioning system consisting of multiple clusters through G-PLaNE. Experimenters and researchers are able to develop and explore their own mechanisms in our platform. Furthermore, a concrete example named Secure and Resilient Virtual Trust Routing (SeRViTR) is given to illustrate how this can be constructed over G-PLaNE. I.
