The StarLight SDX architectural design is defined by research requirements. The StarLight community, in partnership with domain-science communities, led by or include U.S. researchers and educators, anticipates emerging and future requirements and responses by developing solutions years in advance of production. Many innovations developed by the StarLight consortium and its SDX network and exchange partners, in collaboration with these science communities, have been adopted into operational practice by National Research & Education Networks, open exchanges and network testbeds around the world.
