This is the Software Defined Networking (SDN) collaboration space. The workgroup has been formed to share information and educate each other in the community at large on:
How campuses would achieve connections to the emerging SDN backbone provided by the Internet2
How regional optical networks would enable such campus connections or connections of their own interfacing with the I2's SDN core
SDN is expected to enable significant convergence in the networks for experimentation and production traffic to co-exist (with almost no isolation). Therefore, the WG is open to anyone from academia, industry, and IT personnel to discuss how we can enable such convergence.
