Network World’s Jim Duffy reports the consortium that supports Internet2 is nearing completion of its OpenFlow-enabled 100G Ethernet software-defined network for testing service delivery of applications for big data compilation and research. Next week, 300 Internet2 network engineers will collaborate at Stanford University to launch what they call the “Innovation Platform,” which will be the U.S.’s first open software-defined network. More than 20 Internet2 member universities and regional networks are taking part.
