We have roughly 3 hours for the opt-in WG meeting in Minneapolis.
After discussions with Aaron, we will be spending a good chunk of our
time trying to scope the problem. One way to divide the topic into
more manageable chunks is to think of a division into three problems:
(1) "ISP": If GENI acts like an ISP, how do users gain access to
that, both on traditional Ethernet-style (campus) networks and on
wireless networks (802.11 and cellular)? What incentives are there?
(2) "Generalized P2P": If end user resources become part of the
experimental infrastructure, how can users restrict the use of such
resources and how can experimenters access those resources?
(3) Network services: How do users get access to network services?
What are the motivations and possible incentive/payment mechanisms?
All three problems have both a technical component, such as protocols
and issues of trust, an economic component (who pays and in what
currency) and a policy/legal component, such as the usual issues that
worry institutional review boards (IRBs), including privacy and
informed consent.
To help structure the discussion, I'd like to invite members of the
WG to present brief talks on WG-related topics, not necessarily
following the structure above. Please let me know as soon as possible
what you would want to talk about, so that I can put together an agenda.
Henning
