AmLight Kytos-ng students (Ruben Cerna, Christopher Alvarez, Pedro Garcia, Enrique Alfonso) showcasing their capstone project at the Florida International University (FIU) CEC Senior Design Project Showcase for Spring 2024. Each student applied the Kytos-ng SDN platform to build their capstone project. The students joined the Kytos open-source community and were mentored at CIARA by professional software developers and network engineers.
The Senior Design Showcase is a biannual event held at the College of Engineering & Computing, where nearly 400 senior engineering and computer science students present their innovative projects. With over 900 attendees, including community members, executives, and recruiters from various sectors, the event takes place every Fall and Spring at FIU’s Ocean Bank Convocation Center. Explore our Showcase website to discover more about the projects, past events, and event details.
The Kytos SDN Platform is the fastest way to deploy an SDN network. With Kytos-ng, you could deploy a basic OpenFlow controller or your own controller. Designed to be easy to install, use, develop, and share Network Apps (NApps), Kytos is incredibly powerful and user-friendly. Its modular design made Kytos a lightweight SDN platform.
Kytos was conceived to ease SDN controllers’ development and deployment, motivated by gaps left by common SDN solutions. Moreover, it had strong ties with a community view, centered on the development of applications by its users. Thus, the intention was not only to build a new SDN solution but also to build a community of developers around it, creating new applications that benefited from the SDN paradigm.
