From the idea to the IDF
The Indiana Center for Network Translational Research and Education (InCNTRE) at Indiana University is building collaborations to drive innovation for the next generation of networking.Supported by Indiana University, in collaboration with IU's Global Research Network Operations Center, InCNTRE is committed to building collaborations between faculty, students, IT staff, and networking vendors to accelerate network innovation. Software-Defined Network (SDN) provides an open software interface for controlling the forwarding behavior of networks. This allows network operators, researchers, and others to customize their networks, but also plays a central role in the evolution of the Internet infrastructure.
InCNTRE seeks to accelerate network innovation by encouraging the adoption of SDN technologies, such as OpenFlow, increasing networking knowledge through educational programs, such as training and internships, and building collaborations between network researchers and the networking professionals who manage university networks.
