Abstract
Report of the GENI Workshop on Layer 2/SDN Campus Deployment, sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This half-day workshop for campus IT leaders was to discuss the status of and gain support for OpenFlow/SDN implementation. Campus IT organizations provided leadership for the expansion and development of the current Internet and their participation will be integral to the development of the future internet. GENI seeks to enable the partnerships between campus IT organizations and researchers that will make this so.
The meeting was held on July 7, 2011, in Boston, Mass. and was attended by CIOs and other IT executives from 25 universities as well as representatives of EDUCAUSE, Internet2, GENI, and NSF (CISE and OCI).
