| | 3 | = OFCLEM Project Status Report = |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | Period: 1Q10 |
| | 6 | == I. Major accomplishments == |
| | 7 | The project will deploy an !OpenFlow testbed on the Clemson University campus and connect with |
| | 8 | wireless mesh access points and mobile terminals. This trial will conduct !OpenFlow |
| | 9 | experimentation focused on !OpenFlow enabled network operation solutions as a precursor to |
| | 10 | deployment into Clemson research and production networks.[[BR]] |
| | 11 | During this period, key achievements include: |
| | 12 | a. Completed small deployment with one Toroki switch, two wireless access points, and all !OpenFlow software components in one building. |
| | 13 | a. Completed GEC7 demo. |
| | 14 | b. Attended !OpenFlow planning meeting at GEC7. |
| | 15 | === A. Milestones achieved === |
| | 16 | Three milestones are completed in this reporting period:[[BR]] |
| | 17 | 1. OFCLEM: S2.a1 Select vendors (Completed early 01/28/10) |
| | 18 | 1. OFCLEM: S2.a2 Purchase equipment (Due 03/31/10) |
| | 19 | 1. OFCLEM: S2.b Campus small deployments (Due 03/31/10) |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | === B. Deliverables made === |
| | 22 | a. Deployed small !OpenFlow network |
| | 23 | a. GEC7 demo (http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC7Demos) |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | == II. Description of work performed during last quarter == |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | === A. Activities and findings === |
| | 28 | 1. Completed small deployment. A small network of one Toroki LS4810 switch and two PC Engine wireless access points in ECE wireless networking lab. NOX (v0.4 !OpenRoads branch), SNAC (v0.4), !FlowVisor (v0.4), and ENVI/LAVI (latest git release) were fully operational on a Debian Linux server. One non-!OpenFlow VLAN and two !OpenFlow VLANs were created. |
| | 29 | 2. GEC7 demo [[BR]] The demo was based on the deployment described above. The demo shows: |
| | 30 | * SNAC, !FlowVisor, and !OpenRoads NOX operations |
| | 31 | * Handoff experiment of a video conferencing laptop client moving between two !OpenRoads controlled access points on ECE building hallway; the experiment was shown via two separate real-time video streams from Clemson to GEC site, as well as ENVI/LAVI display of instantaneous network topology. |
| | 32 | 3. Attended !OpenFlow planning meeting at GEC7. The meeting covered the following items: |
| | 33 | * Progress update for all campuses. Clemson is on schedule according to plans made at previous GEC. |
| | 34 | * Consensus on demo plan for GEC8. Each campus will scale up the network with existing configuration, conduct cross-campus experiment involving at least one or two other campuses. |
| | 35 | * Discussion of inter-campus connectivity over NLR and/or I2. Conclusion: GPO will take charge of achieving connections needed for cross-campus experiments. |
