Revolutionary GENI Idea
Slices and Deep Programmability
Install the software I want throughout my network slice
(into firewalls, routers, clouds, …)
And keep my slice isolated from your slice,
so we don’t interfere with each other
The Internet is Channel 1, but many other channels are open!

• Students will “live in
the future” – Internet
in one slice, multiple
future internets in
additional slices
