CENI — China Environment for Network Innovation
CENI is an open, easy-to-use and sustainable large-scale general experiment facility, which can provide a simple, efficient and low-cost experiment and verification environment for studying the future network innovation architecture. Future network experiment facilities cover 40 major cities across the country, and 'one total and three points' operation control centers and four innovative experimental centers will be built in Nanjing, Beijing, Hefei, and Shenzhen to realize the interconnection with domestic Internet backbone networks and international test beds.
Platform of Experiment Service based on SDN
Service Orchestration
The top-level experimental business orchestration management portal allows users to realize resource allocation, experimental startup and loading, network interconnection, and remote control of equipment simply by operating the front-end portal without perceiving the underlying resources.
Experiment Topology
Provides resource mapping capabilities with the underlying infrastructure, and all experiments are based on backbone and edge network resources. The edge network realizes cloud-based sharing of computing, network, and storage through virtualization technology, and realizes end-to-end test slicing in combination with the backbone network.
Network Infrastructure
It consists of CENI backbone network and CENI edge network. Each edge network can be regarded as an independent autonomous domain. The domains are interconnected across domains through the backbone network. The edge network provides resource management and control capabilities in a single domain.
