Transport protocols and bulk file transfer

[Aaron Brown <>]

My initial thoughts on Phoebus and OpenFlow:

 1. Have OpenFlow mediate which wiretapped flows get shunted over to Phoebus. i.e. have a fast path for most traffic, and then for specific flows, the OpenFlow controller might have them shunted over to a Phoebus box for handling.

 2. Have Phoebus setup an OpenFlow path, either shared or dedicated, similar to how it could use OSCARS to build a circuit. 

Cheers,

Aaron

If Internet2 ends up doing multi-domain openflow (I shudder at the
thought, but that's another topic) with the regionals, how does Phoebus
fit in?  Would we have to have Phoebus wiretap the openflow setup, so
that it can mediate between different path segments?

Thanks ... Scott
