Hi all, Just wanted to let you know about a presentation that InternetNZ is hosting in Wellington. The TouSIX project: SDN IXPs from design to production Wed 28th Jun 12:00pm – 1:00pm InternetNZ offices, level 11, 80 Boulcott Street, Wellington, New Zealand Registration: https://the-tousix-project-sdn-ixps-from-design-to-production.lilregie.com/s... Come along to a presentation from Dr. Marc Bruyere. Bio here: https://www.internetsociety.org/afpif-2016/speakers/dr-marc-bruyere The Internet eXchange Points (IXP) are essential for the Internet evolution as they empower high bandwidth low latency and inexpensive local traffic peering as opposed to transit traffic. OpenFlow SDN enables more dynamic network programmability to control network behaviour via open interfaces, as opposed to the legacy closed-box solutions and proprietary-defined interfaces. This presentation is about the migration of the TouIX from a traditional to a full OpenFlow IXP. It especially describes how switches have been selected, configured and installed, and presents the TouSIX-Manager tools that have been developed for the IXP fabric robustness and members benefit. It also includes future SDX work in Japan and elsewhere, and the historical NZ based CARDIGAN SDX. TouIX is a non-profit neutral Internet eXchange Point organisation founded in 2005. It provides an interconnected network infrastructure at 4 PoPs around the city of Toulouse and the Paris FranceIX and LyonIX IXPs. Please note catering will not be provided.
