In this paper, a novel Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture is proposed for high-end Ultra High Definition (UHD) media applications. UHD media applications require huge amounts of bandwidth that can only be met with high-capacity optical networks. In addition, there are requirements for control frameworks capable of delivering effective application performance with efficient network utilization. A novel SDN-based Controller that tightly integrates application-awareness with network control and management is proposed for such applications. An OpenFlow-enabled test-bed demonstrator is reported with performance evaluations of advanced online and offline media- and network-aware schedulers.

The development of information technologies, the increasing complexity of theinformation to be handled and analysed along with the increasing capacities inscientific and engineering simulations call for the development of increasinglypowerful visualisation tools and methods. By integrating existing facilities,VISIONAIR is aimed at creating a world-class research infrastructure that willbe open to research communities across Europe and around the world forconducting state-of-the-art research.
