Pacific Wave is a distributed open internet exchange that provides high performance connectivity among US research and education networks and their international counterparts through points of presence in Los Angeles, Sunnyvale, and Seattle. These facilities are essential infrastructure providing high-performance advanced networking that enables the large-scale data flows, access to high performance computing, and remote visualization necessary for collaborative research in all areas of science and engineering including astronomy, biology, bio-medical engineering, materials science, medicine, earth sciences, high-energy physics, and oceanography.This award funds enhancement and expansion of the Pacific Wave production infrastructure to support multiple 100 gigabit-per-second connections among US-based research and education networks and international counterparts from countries of the Pacific Rim including Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. Many research and education networks are developing novel network architectures based on Software Defined Networking to better support the demands of the science and engineering communities that they serve. Project activities also include the development of a parallel set of network connection facilities comprising a distributed Software Defined Exchange to interconnect these emerging Software Defined Networks. The Pacific Wave Expansion project supported by this award achieves these objectives through engagement with the 17 major international research and education networks currently connected to the Pacific Wave exchange and through information and technology exchange with other awardees of the International research network connections program and the US science and engineering research community.

Pacific Wave是一个分布式开放互联网交换平台，通过位于洛杉矶、桑尼维尔和西雅图的网络点，为美国研究和教育网络及其国际同行提供高性能连接。这些设施是提供高性能先进网络的重要基础设施，可实现大规模数据流，访问高性能计算和远程可视化，这些都是科学和工程所有领域合作研究所必需的，包括天文学，生物学，生物医学工程，材料科学，医学，地球科学，高能物理，该奖项为太平洋波浪生产基础设施的增强和扩展提供资金，以支持美国研究和教育网络与包括澳大利亚，加拿大，日本、墨西哥、新西兰、新加坡、韩国和台湾。许多研究和教育网络正在开发基于软件定义网络的新型网络架构，以更好地支持他们所服务的科学和工程社区的需求。项目活动还包括开发一套并行的网络连接设施，包括一个分布式软件定义交换，以互连这些新兴的软件定义网络。 该奖项支持的太平洋波浪扩展项目通过与目前连接到太平洋波浪交换的17个主要国际研究和教育网络的合作，以及通过与国际研究网络连接计划和美国科学和工程研究社区的其他获奖者进行信息和技术交流，实现了这些目标。
