OpenFlow Network with MPTCP Demonstration
While full use of 100 Gbps links was being shown on dedicated links, the Caltech team at SC12 also used software defined networks and multipath protocols to overcome the limitations faced by most data intensive science projects, who use shared network infrastructures or dedicated links of 10 Gbps or lower speeds. Researchers from iCAIR, SARA, SURFnet, and Caltech demonstrated the utilization of MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) and OpenFlow to address these
