Abstract

The Internet service provider (ISP) BelWue interconnects higher education and research institutions in Baden-Wuerttemberg (Germany). Its 10 Gb/s backbone has been extended with an additional optical 100 Gb/s high-speed network between the universities called NeIF. In addition special high-performance zones (HPZ) have been setup at the these locations. This paper presents a concept for the integration of the HPZs into the university campuses and the BelWue network with the help of OpenFlow-based SDN and BGP. The demo features a testbed implementing this concept for three university locations. We show, how different HPZs can communicate directly through the the NeIF and how the legacy BelWue network is used for communication to the campuses.
