Open Exchange Points (OXPs) serve as meet points for connecting and facilitating the exchange of data between Research and Education (R&E) networks. They are critical cyberinfrastructure in the transit of data over long geographical distances, switching data flows from one R&E network to the next, to its destination. For example, data from the Vera Rubin Observatory will transit 6 OXPs as it moves from the southern to northern hemispheres. Operationalizing the transit of data flows across OXPs is increasingly important to minimize the impact from events on network services (hardware failures and soft failures). End-to-end network paths for these data flows are not under the control of any individual organization. Multiple R&E network operators must coordinate to establish geographically distributed end-to-end paths – an effort that can take days to weeks.Florida International University (FIU), University of Southern California – Information Sciences Institute (USC-ISI) and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - RENCI are furthering AtlanticWave-SDX: a distributed experimental SDX, supporting research, experimental deployments, prototyping and interoperability testing, on national and international scales. AtlanticWave-SDX leverages innovations from the initial AtlanticWave-SDX project, introducing new capabilities, enabling OXPs to react to unplanned network events by adding intelligent closed-loop control of network services powered by in-band network telemetry.AWAVE-SDX is comprised of two components: An infrastructure development component with optical super channels to reframe and reprovision network capacity between R&E backbone networks; An innovation component to build a distributed intercontinental experimental SDX by leveraging OXPs in the U.S., Chile, Brazil, and S. Africa.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

开放交换点 (OXP) 充当连接和促进研究与教育 (R&E) 网络之间数据交换的交汇点，它们是长距离数据传输的关键网络基础设施，将数据流从一个 R&E 网络切换到另一个网络。例如，维拉鲁宾天文台的数据从南半球移动到北半球时将经过 6 个 OXP，实现跨 OXP 的数据流传输变得越来越重要。为了最大限度地减少事件对网络服务的影响（硬件故障和软故障），这些数据流的端到端网络路径不受任何单个组织的控制，多个 R&E 网络运营商必须协调建立地理上分布的端到端。佛罗里达国际大学 (FIU)、南加州大学信息科学研究所 (USC-ISI) 和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校 - RENCI 正在进一步推进 AtlanticWave-SDX：一个分布式实验 SDX，支持国家和国际范围内的研究、实验部署、原型设计和互操作性测试。 -带内网络遥测支持的网络服务环路控制。AWAVE-SDX 由两个组件组成： 基础设施开发组件，具有光学超级通道，用于在之间重新构建和重新配置网络容量R&E 骨干网络；利用美国、智利、巴西和南非的 OXP 构建分布式洲际实验 SDX 的创新组件。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势进行评估，认为值得支持以及更广泛的影响审查标准。
