The National Science Foundation, in cooperation with the Large Scale Networks (LSN) Interagency Working Group, has hosted a series of technical workshops over the past 4 years focused on advancing our understanding of the use of Software Defined Networking (SDN) in operational networks. These workshops have convened the academic networking research community, network operators, telecom equipment vendors, and government technologists and regulators in order to share their experience in deploying SDN-capable equipment in various settings. This proposal seeks participant travel and meeting logistics support for a 2 1/2-day workshop to be held in Washington, DC, on September 18-20, 2017. Approximately 80 participants will represent stakeholders including academia, industry, open-source communities, and government agencies. The workshop will build on the discussions held at the previous two workshops, and facilitate a dialogue to identify research opportunities and achievable milestones for the community to advance the state of operational SDN networks. SDN is critical technology for US IT to retain a competitive advantage in telecommunications and cloud computing.The proposed workshop provides a timely intellectual exchange among researchers, developers, and operators of SDN technologies. The workshop is expected to: 1) provide an up-to-date understanding of the status and trajectory of SDN development, 2) provide an assessment of the operational goals and gaps of SDN, 3) facilitate discussions of new directions and collaboration opportunities for SDN research and development, 4) provide actionable information for graduate student education and research.

国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）与大规模网络（LSN）间机构间工作组合作，在过去的4年中主持了一系列技术研讨会，重点是促进我们对操作网络中软件定义网络（SDN）使用的了解。这些研讨会召集了学术网络研究社区，网络运营商，电信设备供应商以及政府技术人员和监管机构，以分享他们在各种环境中部署可SDN功能的设备方面的经验。 该提案寻求参与者的旅行和会议对物流的支持，为2017年9月18日至20日在华盛顿特区举行的2 1/2天研讨会。大约80名参与者将代表包括学术界，工业，开源社区和政府机构在内的利益相关者。该研讨会将基于前两个研讨会上的讨论，并促进对话，以确定社区推进运营SDN网络状况的研究机会和可实现的里程碑。 SDN对我们来说是至关重要的技术，即保留电信和云计算方面的竞争优势。拟议的研讨会提供了SDN Technologies的研究人员，开发人员和运营商之间及时的智力交流。预计该研讨会将：1）对SDN开发的状态和轨迹提供最新的了解，2）对SDN的运营目标和差距进行评估，3）促进有关SDN研究与发展的新方向和协作机会的讨论，4）为研究生学生教育和研究提供可行的信息。
