SUMMARY:Towards an SDN-enabled Federated Internet - Roberto di Lallo (QMUL

DESCRIPTION:Software Defined Networking is deemed a promising approach to 
 enhancing network manageability\, automation\, and performance. Yet\, desp
 ite extensive efforts\, Internet-wide SDN deployment has been mostly stagn
 ant\, with only few networking players using it in specific centralized en
 vironments such as datacenter networks. Indeed\, realizing SDN across diff
 erent domains is a much more difficult\, yet crucial\, task\, mostly becau
 se multiple independent Internet entities have to reach a consensus on how
  to inter-operate an SDN-based network. \nIn this talk\, I will present my
  recent efforts towards a better Internet-wide connectivity ecosystem. Fir
 st\, I will explore the possibility of improving end-to-end inter-domain c
 onnectivity between users\, devices\, and services through SDN federated n
 etworks. Second\, I will discuss the orthogonal aspect of SDN compatibilit
 y with legacy network devices\, including approaches to handling the inter
 action with traditional protocols such as the Address Resolution Protocol.
  Finally\, I will report results on the viability of the proposed SDN-base
 d approaches on currently available SDN-enabled hardware.\n\nBio: Roberto 
 di Lallo is a PhD student in the Computer Networks research group at the R
 oma Tre University. Currently he is a visiting PhD Scholar at the Queen Ma
 ry University Of London. His main interests are interdomain routing\, with
  a particular focus on IXPs\, and Software Defined Networks.
