The first meeting of the SDN Group Switzerland took place at SWITCH, organized by Philipp Aeschlimann from the ICCLab and Kurt Baumann from SWITCH. There were close to 40 participants from Universities around Switzerland with the goal, to bring researchers and campus IT operators on one table and talk about SDN.
The talks were targeting a wide range of topics along the research theme SDN:
- Privacy Proxy (ETHZ, Bernhard Ager)

The SDN Group Switzerland was having a good start along with this topics and for the second meeting is planned at ZHAW in Winterthur we will keep the good mix between research and operational SDN tasks. A further goal is to invite also industrial partners.
