A new IRTF research group on Software-Defined Networking has been chartered:

The Software-Defined Networking Research Group (SDNRG) investigates SDN

from various perspectives with the goal of identifying the approaches that

can be defined, deployed and used in the near term as well identifying

future research challenges. In particular, key areas of interest include

solution scalability, abstractions, and programming languages and paradigms

particularly useful in the context of SDN. In addition, it is an explicit

goal of the SDNRG to provide a forum for researchers to investigate key

and interesting problems in the Software-Defined Networking field.

Charter and participation information can be found at http://irtf.org/sdnrg
