Hello All, Please find detailed agenda for the OpenFlow and SDN workshop at OGF36. There will be 6 presentations of 10 minutes each followed by a 20 minute discussion. Regards, Guy OpenFlow and SDN workshop @ OGF36 Location: Comiskey room, Hyatt Regency Chicago, 151 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601 Time: 10:30 - 12:00, Monday, 8th October 2012 · Ping Pan (Infinera) "Supporting SDN in Transport Networks" · Jerry Sobieski (NORDUnet) "The role of NSI in emerging SDN environments" · Joan A. Garcia-Espin (I2Cat) "OpenFlow in GN3's Network Factory" · Takahiro Miyamoto (KDDI R&D Labs) "The relationship between OpenFlow and Switching Service" · Jeroen van der Ham (University of Amsterdam) "Current status of the NML and applicability to OpenFlow and SDN". · Chin Guok (ESnet) "ESnet's use of OpenFlow to facilitate science data mobility". · 20 minute panel discussion Ping Pan (Infinera) "Supporting SDN in Transport Networks" This presentation considers how SDN can be used to build an overlay network on top of transport infrastructure. It is proposed that network services are then be deployed on top of this overlay. An architecture based on a light-weight virtual switch is proposed to achieve these aims. Jerry Sobieski (NORDUnet) "The role of NSI in emerging SDN environments" This presentation will consider the relationship between NSI and OpenFlow. NSI has the potential to play an important role in SDN initiatives by providing a framework for multi-provider circuit provisioning. This presentation considers how these standards can co-exist. Joan A. Garcia-Espin (I2Cat) "OpenFlow in GN3's Network Factory" Given the increasing momentum of Software-Defined Networking, GÉANT3 project is conducting an experimental deployment of OpenFlow in order to assess its validity for future NREN services in Europe. Facility design and implementation are being developed under GN3's Joint Research Activity 2, Task 5, namely Network Factory. This presentation shows the approach taken and on-going work. Takahiro Miyamoto (KDDI R&D Labs) "The relationship between OpenFlow and Switching Service" This presentation will consider how the NSI framework can be simply extended to deliver a switching service. The synergies between NSI and OpenFlow are considered. Jeroen van der Ham (University of Amsterdam) "Current status of the NML and applicability to OpenFlow and SDN". This presentation will provide an update on the current status of the NML working group at OGF. The uses and aims of the NML standard are presented and potential uses with OpenFlow and SDN in general are considered. Chin Guok (ESnet) "ESnet's use of OpenFlow to facilitate science data mobility". The focus of this presentation is to provide a subjective view of the strengths and weakness of the current iteration (v1.x) of Openflow in the WAN, to suggest how OpenFlow can be used in WANs today, and discuss on-going OpenFlow activities within ESnet to facilitate science data mobility. 20 minute panel discussion All presenters will participate in panel discussion on the synergies between OpenFlow/SDN and OGF standards. _____________________________________________________________________ Guy Roberts PhD Senior Transport Network Architect DANTE Cambridge, UK +44 1223 371316 DANTE is the project co-ordinator and operator of GÉANT, the high-speed pan-European research and education network that is transforming the way researchers collaborate.
