Scope

This project will deploy an OpenFlow, testbed throughout the Stanford University campus. This project will develop OpenFlow extensions focused on the creation of flexible, heterogeneous slices, the development of a generic load balancer and a captive portal for authentication. This work is a precursor to the deployment of OpenFlow into campus production networks.

Current Capabilities

Stanford OpenFlow deployment

• Three OpenFlow VLANs (74 for production traffic, 374 for experimental traffic, 901 for demos)
• Eight OpenFlow switches (HP, NEC, Quanta, and Toroki)
• FlowVisor, SNAC, and NOX controllers
• Production user traffic
