13. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation13November 17, 2009 Why OpenFlow and VLANs? OpenFlow has very active commercial product support (required for most campus deployments) Ethernet VLANS are implemented nearly everywhere already (although different varieties) It's fairly inexpensive for a project to add switches and configure VLANs Widespread deployment possibilities result in more layer 2 end-to-end substrates for experiments This is only an interim solution GPO is interested in other projects with meso-scale potential
