“All that is solid

melts into air”

Outline of this Speculation

• Work to date

• A global transformation is starting

• The rise of the “service store”

• Architectural, infrastructure, & economic

implications

• Next steps

Where I am coming from - GENI

“Virtual machine” -> New service model

September 6, 2013 Network Virtualization Symposium 2013 5

No “virtual,” no “machine”

Novel services

slices

“Horseless carriage” -> Automobile

Carriage without horse Horseless carriage

Automobile (Toyota MR2)

No “horse,” no “carriage”

Driving the transformation -

A radical change in “router” economics

September 6, 2013 Network Virtualization Symposium 2013 7

ARPANET Imp (1969)

1 core, clock ~ 1.1 MHz

64 Kbytes RAM

No disk

Today’s cost: ~ $650,000

Commodity GENI rack

Each 1U=

32 cores, 2.1 GHz

16 Gbyte, 4 Tbyte

Today’s cost: $200,000

for full rack (50 x 1U)

Economics now favor pervasive computation and storage

Disk + controller (IBM 1302)

Today’s cost: ~ $2,545,000

Disks were too expensive in 1969

1/3 the IMP’s price, but

with 1500 cores and 200

Tbytes of local storage

Instantiating services into slices

September 6, 2013 Network Virtualization Symposium 2013 8

• Soon each switching point will be

able to sustain 10,000 – 100,000 slices

• Can run arbitrary software in each slice

• Decoupling of “service” from infrastructure

Thousands of

parallel slices

� A HyperNet Builder writes a HyperNet

� The HyperNetBuilder uploads the HyperNet to the app store

� A HyperNet user downloads the HyperNet from app store

� The HyperNet user (Net creator) identifies the participants and “runs” the HyperNet

� Participants use the virtual network

The Rise of the “Service Store”

• “Drag and drop” Services

• Like an App Store . . .

• . . . that instantiates

end-to-end Services

September 6, 2013 Network Virtualization Symposium 2013 10

Service Store

Tailored Service

Service instantiated in a slice

Decoupling Service from Provider

Architectural Implications

• Pervasive inter-cloud (out to the handset, sensor, …)

• Services = on-demand, 3rd party, from a store

• Services run within deeply programmable slices

September 6, 2013 Network Virtualization Symposium 2013 11

• Mutability as a key characteristic

– Services revise infrastructure as needed

– Fluid and mutable cyber security

– “Flash paper” (use-once infrastructure)

And something quite new . . .

Infrastructure Implications

• The current ‘host’ vs. ‘router’ distinction is erased

• Computation and storage everywhere

• Dramatic re-architecting of racks to support efficient

on-demand slicing of resources

Economic implications

September 6, 2013 Network Virtualization Symposium 2013 13

• “All that is solid melts into air”

-- Communist Manifesto, 1848

• “All old-established national industries have been

destroyed or are daily being destroyed. They are dislodged

by new industries, whose introduction becomes a life and

death question for all civilised nations.”

• In short, profound economic implications.

Please note: I am not, nor have I ever been, a communist.

Next steps for the US side

• Begin to remake US academic campuses

– OpenFlow & GENI Racks

– NSF CC-NIE funding

– Next-generation cyber-infrastructure

– Experimental inter-clouds

• Beef up wireless and data center aspects

– Direct wireless access to slices (LTE, WiFi, WiVi)

– Novel sliced datacenters as part of larger architecture

(moving beyond ‘multi-tenant’)
