NOVI concentrates on methods, algorithms and information

models that will enable users to compose and manage

isolated concurrent slices, baskets of virtual resources and

services provided by diverse yet federated Future Internet

(FI) platforms.

NOVI ServicesNOVI ServicesUsers (slice owners) of each testbed participating in a NOVI federation have access to

the NOVI Service LayerNOVI Service Layer consisting of:

• The NOVI Application Programming Interface (API)NOVI Application Programming Interface (API), the northbound interface to

the NOVI Service Layer accepting user requests.

• The Request Handler ServiceRequest Handler Service, the southbound interface communicating with the

virtualized testbeds via the GENI Slice-based Federation Architecture (SFA).

• The Resource Information Service (RIS)Resource Information Service (RIS), used by all NOVI services to obtain

information on resources described by ontologies of the NOVI Information and information on resources described by ontologies of the NOVI Information and

Data Models.

• The Intelligent Resource Mapping (IRM)Intelligent Resource Mapping (IRM) Service, mapping user requests for virtual

resources to the federated physical substrate topologies.

• The Policy Service (PS)Policy Service (PS), used to implement a role-based management system.

• The NSwitchNSwitch enabling data plane connectivity between virtual resources belonging

to different testbeds.

• The Monitoring Service (MS)Monitoring Service (MS), providing monitoring information for reserved slices

or physical devices.

• Users should be able to run their applications/experiments by dynamically selecting diverse sliversselecting diverse slivers within a slice (basket) of the federated FI facility

• Federated FI facilities should be able to upgrade their scope by incorporating additional testbeds, thus attracting a wider user base: Need for open, scalable federation architecturesopen, scalable federation architectures (extend on US GENI SFASFA, EU GÉANTGÉANT, FEDERICAFEDERICA + FIRE NOVINOVI, Fed4FIREFed4FIRE….)

– In the US Internet2Internet2, , NLRNLR are used as backbone facilities for GENI infrastructures – e.g. OpenFlow Software Defined Networking (SDN) - NDDINDDI

– In Europe, NRENs NRENs -- GÉANTGÉANT can provide support for advanced connectivity services amongst European virtualized infrastructures – Network FactoryNetwork Factory

– In Asia-Pacific advanced R&E networks provide virtualized platforms, interconnecting FI testbeds, NICTNICT, KORENKOREN….
