Internet 2.pngJim Duffy wrote an Internet 2 article stating that the consortium that supports Internet2 is nearing completion of its OpenFlow-enabled 100G Ethernet software-defined network. This month, Internet2 network engineers will meet to launch what they call the “Innovation Platform” which will be the United States’ first open software-defined network.

 

The consortium hopes to eventually deliver an enhanced network that can handle the transfer of large data sets in response to the abundance of data today. Having this high speed network crossing the US will provide a solid test bed for further enhancement to future networking needs of those initially involved as well as everyone else in the future – just like the original Internet.
