The Hybrid Multi-Layer Network Control for Emerging Cyber-Infrastructures Project

The Hybrid Multi-Layer Network Control for Emerging Cyber-Infrastructures (Hybrid-MLN) project is conducting research and development on automated multi-layer inter-networking control plane technologies that enable distributed multi-layer multi-domain routing and provisioning in large-scale, high-performance network infrastructures.

The Hybrid-MLN project is a collaboration amongst the following institutions and organizations:

• University of New Mexico
• University of Southern California (USC) Information Sciences Institute (ISI) East
• University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID) - Internet2
• Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
• Energy Sciences Network (ESnet)
• DOE UltraScience Net (USN)
• NSF Dynamic Resource Allocation via Optical Networks (DRAGON) Project

This web site includes the following:

• Hybrid-MLN Control Technologies Overview
• Project Event Agenda and Meeting Minutes
• Network Status, Engineering Issues and Documents
• Open Source Hybrid-MLN Control Plane Software and Documentation
