University network facilities, both those dedicated to research and those that support core institutional activities, play a very important role in the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) project. Campus networks pose interesting and unique challenges. GENI expects networked university research facilities to exploit existing university networks using linkage mechanisms that permit the use of experimental protocols down to the lowest layers in the stack and nodes that are programmable by experimenters, all without disrupting production use of the same networks. Deploying such infrastructure in a campus environment requires close coordination with university IT departments.This award funds a workshop with researchers, campus network leaders, and GENI and NSF staff to address concrete campus implementation options. Meeting invitees will be among the top experts in higher-education networking and information technology, representing universities across the country. The purpose of the proposed meeting and other activities is to promote effective, efficient communication between the GENI staff and higher education CIO community. The report from this meeting will assist GENI in determining the most effective means for connecting the higher education research community to any future, experimental network infrastructure.The meeting will have broader impacts of at least three types. First, it will lay the foundation for much more capable networking than the current Internet protocols can support. Second, it will enhance the ability of researchers to interact with network operators in ways that balance robustness and flexibility. Third, it will enable EDUCAUSE to disseminate information and conclusions from the meeting to a broader constituency, thus, helping them to contemplate future networking opportunities more efficiently.

大学网络设施，无论是致力于研究的设施还是支持核心机构活动的设施，在全球网络创新环境（GENI）项目中发挥着非常重要的作用。校园网络带来了有趣且独特的挑战。 GENI 期望联网的大学研究设施能够利用链接机制来利用现有的大学网络，该机制允许使用实验协议直至堆栈的最低层和可由实验者编程的节点，而所有这些都不会中断同一网络的生产使用。在校园环境中部署此类基础设施需要与大学 IT 部门密切协调。该奖项资助一个由研究人员、校园网络领导者以及 GENI 和 NSF 工作人员参加的研讨会，以解决具体的校园实施选项。会议受邀者将是代表全国各大学的高等教育网络和信息技术领域的顶尖专家。拟议会议和其他活动的目的是促进 GENI 员工和高等教育 CIO 群体之间有效、高效的沟通。本次会议的报告将帮助 GENI 确定将高等教育研究界与任何未来的实验性网络基础设施连接起来的最有效方式。本次会议将产生至少三种类型的更广泛影响。首先，它将为比当前互联网协议支持的功能更强大的网络奠定基础。其次，它将增强研究人员以平衡鲁棒性和灵活性的方式与网络运营商互动的能力。第三，它将使 EDUCAUSE 能够将会议的信息和结论传播给更广泛的支持者，从而帮助他们更有效地考虑未来的交流机会。
