Software Defined IXP

Software Defined IXP (SDX) tries to bring the merits of Software Defined Networking (SDN) to interdomain routing. BGP constrains how networks can deliver traffic over the Internet. Today’s networks can only forward traffic based on the destination IP prefixes, by selecting among the routes offered by their immediate neighbors. SDN can offer direct control over packet-processing rules that match on multiple header fields and perform a variety of actions. IXPs are a compelling place to deploy these changes, given their role in interconnecting many networks and their growing importance in bringing popular content closer to end users.

SDX does more than simply replace an IXP’s switches with their OpenFlow counterparts. SDX's capabilities enable new applications, such as application-specific peering---where two networks peer only for (say) streaming video traffic.
