In 2013, AmLight Engineers envisioned the importance of the Software Defined Network concept, and its future into the academic networks concept. In this new concept, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opennetworking.org\/sdn-resources\/onf-specifications\/openflow\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Openflow<\/a> plays an important role. Openflow&#8217;s flexibility to accommodate new forwarding techniques and protocols fits perfectly in the AmLight network, due to its focus on being an open instruments for collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>To move towards SDN, the AmLight SDN Project was created in collaboration with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiu.edu\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Florida International University<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rnp.br\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RNP<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rednesp.br\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">REDNESP<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redclara.net\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RedClara<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuna.cl\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">REUNA<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flrnet.org\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FLR<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aura-astronomy.org\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AURA<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/internet2.edu\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Internet2<\/a>. The main focus of this project was to create an SDN substrate on top of the current international links between Brazil, Chile and the U.S., providing a better infrastructure for research and experimentation to the Americas&#8217; researchers. In August 2014, AmLight has finally evolved to become a full Software-Defined Network, using Openflow 1.0. In this Web Site, AmLight&#8217;s experience is being shared, explaining what the challenges were, how AmLight was configured, and how to get involved and make use of it.<\/p>\n<p>See also <a href=\"http:\/\/amlight.net\/?page_id=1188\">Q&amp;A<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"http:\/\/amlight.net\/?page_id=1199\">Documentation<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"http:\/\/amlight.net\/?page_id=1204\">Operation<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sdn.amlight.net\/bin\/login\/Intranet?foswiki_origin=GET%2cview%2c\/Intranet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Intranet<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2008, AmLight has been evolving its capacity to accommodate new research and academic requirements, increasing bandwidth and providing services as Dynamic Layer 2 Provisioning, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1177"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4728,"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1177\/revisions\/4728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
