Abstract

The FlowSurge project leverages cyberinfrastructure (CI) resources for Software Defined Networking (SDN) on the FIU campus network, at the AMPATH International Exchange Point, regional, national and international multi-organizations to enhance support for end-to-end Science flows from a researcher's laboratory. FlowSurge's major research contribution is a science network and Science DMZ at FIU tailored to support high-performance science applications and data-intensive flows. The method of installing" FlowSurge Racks" optimized for high-performance and programmability of science flows, and instrumented for monitoring and measuring science flows right in the researchers' laboratories achieves that objective.
