OFNLR Project Status Report
Period: 2010-Q3
This project will deploy and operate OpenFlow-enabled HP Procurve 6600 switches at 5 NLR PoPs and interconnect NLR’s FrameNet network to the GENI OpenFlow-enabled backbone, permitting members and non-members of NLR to connect to GENI OpenFlow services.
I. Major accomplishments
A. Milestones achieved
- OFNLR: S2.b Lab test OpenFlow 1.0 capable switch and controller
