| 334 | | This demo is of interest to attendees who are interested in network troubleshooting operation of traceroute on SDN boxes. (a) A probe packet is formed to trace a layer 2 frame's path with a proposed SDNTrace protocol. The demo will show a northbound application that processes SDNTrace protocol packets on a network topology created on GENI using VTS. (b) Network troubleshooting is an essential part of network engineers' job with tools such as traceroute, ping, and others. With NSF's investments to upgrade bandwidth and support more orchestrated large science transfers through SDN network devices on campuses, network engineers will be able to utilize our proposed protocol to achieve traceroute functionality. A tracing of paths over SDN network devices is challenging in current deployment experiences. Please see requirements page that inspired and drove this project from the needs assessment of network engineers at [http://meetings.internet2.edu/2014-technology-exchange/ Internet2 Technology Exchange meeting] in October 2014: [https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/sdn/2014-10-28+-+BoF+notes+-+SDNTrace Meeting Notes from BoF at TechExchange2014]. In addition, a project charter has been published on the Internet2's SDN workgroup page, open for comments and participation in the project from the community: [https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/sdn/Project+Charter+Draft SDNTrace Project Charter] Page on Internet2 wg-SDN. |
