Scope

This project will deploy a hybrid OpenFlow and RouteBrick testbed within the computer science and engineering department. This project will develop building blocks allowing researchers to investigate the placement of middlebox functionality in enterprise networks. This work is a precursor to the deployment of OpenFlow and RouteBricks into campus production networks.

Current Capabilities

OpenFlow for students in the networks lab

• HP ProCurve 6600 with OF 0.8.9
• FlowVisor, NOX, and SNAC controllers
• Separate OpenFlow VLANs for production, experimental, and management traffic
• Used in a Plug-n-Serve demo with Stanford
