Travel Support for 2013 Software Defined Networking Program Review

该项目为参加由网络和信息技术研究与发展（NITRD）分委员会的大规模网络（LSN）协调小组组织、NSF和DoE共同赞助的研讨会的学术人员提供旅费支持，该研讨会的主题是与全国部署载波间软件定义网络（SDN）服务相关的问题。研讨会将于2013年12月17日至18日在NSF举行。研讨会的总体目标是探索构建可操作的SDN原型网络的步骤，并确定所需的长期研究。具体目标还包括：确定有助于开发和运营与当前公共互联网2无缝互操作的SDN原型网络的当前能力和资源。确定在创建这样一个系统时的研究、资源和协作需求。确定运行生产、多域SDN网络所需的操作软件工具的差距4。确定SDN虚拟化网络与计算和存储的“云”交互的机会。向NSF和其他NITRD机构提供关于原型系统所需的研究和开发、资源和协作的研讨会报告。sdn是一项关键的新兴技术，正在用于支持许多国家优先项目。为运营商间的SDN打下坚实的基础，将使SDN应用的广泛部署成为可能。

This project funds travel support for academic participation in a workshop organized by the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Subcommittee's Large Scale Networking (LSN) Coordinating Group, and co-sponsored by NSF and DoE, on issues associated with the national deployment of an inter-carrier Software Defined Networking (SDN) service. The workshop will be held at NSF on December 17th and 18th, 2013.The overarching goal of the workshop is to explore the steps to an operational prototype SDN network and to identify the required longer term research. Specific goals also include:1. Identifying current capabilities and resources that contribute to development and operation of an SDN prototype network that interoperates seamlessly with the current public Internet2. Identifying research, resource, and collaboration needs in creating such a system3. Identifying gaps in operational software tools necessary for running a production, multidomain SDN network4. Identifying opportunities for SDN virtualized networks to interact with 'clouds' of computation and storage5. Providing a workshop report to NSF and the other NITRD agencies on needed research and development, resources and collaboration for the prototype systemSDN is a key emerging technology and is being used to support a number of national priority programs. Developing a sound basis for inter-carrier SDN will enable the widespread deployment of applications using SDN.
