Network-Wide Policies with OpenFlow

Our project is experimenting with easier, more flexible, and more reliable ways to define network policies through better policy tools and software defined networking (SDN).

Experiments

Network-wide policies with Openflow and GENI

Implement and conduct campus-based trials of network-wide policies implemented using Resonance for policy specification.

Resources (as of Spring 2011): 17 OpenFlow-enabled switches, 2 ProtoGENI nodes, 4 PlanentLab nodes

BISmark: Software Defined Network Management

Two case studies in policy implementation.

  • Access control in enterprise networks
    • Re-implementation of access control on the Georgia Tech campus network
    • Today: Complicated, low-level
    • With SDN: Simpler, more flexible
  • Usage control in home networks
    • Implementation of user controls (e.g., usage cap management, parental controls) in home networks – Today: Not possible
    • With SDN: Intuitive, simple
