Objective: To deploy a robust network coding architecture in the GÉANT OpenFlow facility, which provides a highly available backbone network infrastructure for Future Internet applications.

Approach: MINERVA’s goal is to minimize the number of network coding nodes, as well as the complexity of the coding operations which have to be performed to provide capacity-efficient protection with instantaneous recovery. The benefits of MINERVA’s resilient network architecture will be demonstrated on two application scenarios, namely distributed storage and video streaming.
