  35. OpenFlow switches will be deployed to our international connections in 2013, if approved. 100G links are planned in some segments of the backbone.
  36. It will be great to see how large bandwidth applications are introduced in all NRENs. So other NRENs will be easier to defend the necessity of building new high bandwidth circuits to their funding sources.
    The "Make final" buttons in this compendium system are still a bit buggy. In rare cases it could be finalized by my first click on these buttons. Usually I needed to repetitively click on them two to five times before it disappeared, by then I could know that the section was successfully finalized. And in some cases, even the button was disappeared by doing so (no more "Make final" button on that section page), the section was still considered "not yet completed" when viewed by other people.
