This project will deploy a pilot Software-Defined Science Network (SDSN) to interconnect research computing resources on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus and link them to national WAN circuit fabrics via Internet2. This pilot deployment will support both Computer Science applications such as GENI WiMax experiments and prototyping activities for the University of Wisconsin?s Science DMZ between campus partner sites and the Internet. The project will provide an opportunity to develop an operational model for the innovations promised by OpenFlow. In particular, significant effort will be expended in integrating management tools such as the UW developed web application Authorized Agent Network Tool Suite (AANTS), network monitoring tools such as PerfSONAR and traffic engineering tools such as Netflow/IPFIX. The GENI toolsets (Expedient, FOAM) will be examined for suitability for enterprise use. UW will partner with Cisco for the OpenFlow rollout. Travel budget is included for sharing and presentations of findings to the broad GENI community and non-technical user communities.Broader Impact:The pilot will provide an opportunity to gain experience with architectural, deployment, administrative and operational issues of OpenFlow in campus settings. Integration with WiMax as an extension of the UW production network will allow for advanced opportunities to the research and education communities such as streaming live high definition video from campus natural areas into classrooms. The PIs will report on issues and operational experience associated with the deployment. These reports and the PI?s willingness to share their experience with other universities will reduce barriers to use of GENI from campuses, establish GENI technologies and OpenFlow as building blocks for science networking, inform ongoing upgraded to campus infrastructure in support of domain sciences on campus, and via the partnership with Cisco facilitate the broader deployment of SDN technologies.

该项目将部署一个试点软件定义科学网络（SDSN），将威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校校园内的研究计算资源互连，并通过Internet2将它们连接到国家广域网电路结构。这一试点部署将支持计算机科学应用，如GENI WiMax实验和威斯康星大学的原型活动。校园合作伙伴网站和互联网之间的科学DMZ。该项目将为OpenFlow承诺的创新提供一个开发运营模式的机会。特别是，将在集成管理工具（如华盛顿大学开发的web应用程序授权代理网络工具套件（AANTS））、网络监控工具（如PerfSONAR）和流量工程工具（如Netflow/IPFIX）方面付出重大努力。将检查GENI工具集（Expedient， FOAM）是否适合企业使用。华盛顿大学将与思科合作推出OpenFlow。旅费预算包括向广泛的GENI社区和非技术用户社区分享和展示发现的费用。更广泛的影响：该试点将提供一个机会，在校园环境中获得OpenFlow的架构、部署、管理和运营问题的经验。作为华盛顿大学生产网络的延伸，与WiMax的集成将为研究和教育社区提供先进的机会，例如从校园自然区域到教室的高清直播视频。pi将报告与部署相关的问题和操作经验。这些报告和PI？我们愿意与其他大学分享他们的经验，这将减少校园使用GENI的障碍，建立GENI技术和OpenFlow作为科学网络的基石，为校园基础设施的持续升级提供信息，以支持校园领域科学，并通过与思科的合作促进SDN技术的更广泛部署。
