Abstract

New scientific instruments that are being designed and deployed in the coming years will dramatically increase the need for large, real-time data transfers among scientists throughout the world. One such instrument is the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope being built in Chile that will produce 6.4 GB images every 17 seconds. This paper describes an ongoing effort to meet the demands of these large data scientific instruments through the development of an international software defined exchange point (SDX) that will meet the provisioning needs for the scientific users. The specific planned and ongoing work in SDX architecture is described with specific consideration for policy specification and security.
