OpenFlow Aggregate Name

GPO Lab OpenFlow Aggregate

This aggregate supports the ​GENI Aggregate Provider Agreement (11/03/2010).

Aggregate Overview

Aggregate Manager URL	​https://foam.gpolab.bbn.com:3626/foam/gapi/1
Aggregate Resources	The GPO Lab OpenFlow testbed consists of three OpenFlow-controlled switches (one each of HP, NEC, and Quanta) and a FOAM-managed FlowVisor controlling them.
Typical Experiments	The GPO Lab OpenFlow testbed is suited for experiments that require flexible, programmable network configuration.
Aggregate Status	Operational monitoring not widely available, restricted access to monitoring at ​GMOC
Slice Authorities Recognized	GENI Project Office (​http://pgeni.gpolab.bbn.com), ProtoGENI (​http://www.emulab.net)
Usage Policies	The ​GENI Recommended Use Policy is available.
Layer 2 Connectivity	Internet2 and NLR

GPO OpenFlow Aggregates

The GPO site has three OpenFlow Aggregates and a page is available for each ExoGENI FOAM, InstaGENI FOAM, and GPOLab FOAM. The GPO Lab FOAM is used to support OpenFlow experiments for both GPO ProtoGENI and MyPLC Aggregates, as well as providing NLR/I2 access for the ExoGENI and InstaGENI FOAM aggregates. Pages have been created to describes the potential OpenFlow connection details available from the GPOLab site:

• GPOLab InstaGENI FOAM
• GPOLab ExoGENI FOAM
• GPOLab ProtoGENI Resources via OpenFlow
• GPOLab MyPLC Resources via OpenFlow?

Each of the aggregates listed above access either NLR or Internet2 via the GPOLab site's OpenFlow Switch named Poblano, whose connections are captured below:

These local VLANs map to these inter-campus VLANs:

VLAN ID	Purpose
1750	Shared Meso-scale OpenFlow VLAN
2650	Single transport VLAN maps inter-campus to NLR
3715	Deprecated - Maps inter-campus VLAN ID 3715 to NLR
3716	Deprecated - Maps inter-campus VLAN ID 3716 to NLR
3745	Deprecated - Maps inter-campus VLAN ID 3715 to Internet2
3746	Deprecated - Maps inter-campus VLAN ID 3716 to Internet2
3750	Single transport VLAN maps inter-campus to Internet2

Note: The GPO site also has a WiMAX testbed with external VLANs, which is expected to support OpenFlow in the future, but is not currently available for experimenters. WiMAX VLANs include: VLAN 3733 (GPO to Rutgers) and VLAN 3735 (GPO to NYU)
