The efficiency in data movement translates directly into the capability to reach scientific goals. In order to achieve these goals, we need to increase the efficiency of these networks. We believe that Software Defined Networking and OpenFlow are key factors to success. In this demo we address the challenge of traffic optimization for large flows in wide area layer-2 OpenFlow networks. We present an OpenFlow controller implementation that enables an application aware networking. In particular, we present a simple API that can be used by data movement applications to provide additional flow information to the network controller. Using this information, we use multipath forwarding to leverage network capacity according to application requirements. We show how our network load balancing can improve the network utilization, reduce the transfer times of big data, increase the users quality of experience.
