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

Milestones

MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.a Complete GENI production deployment on Stanford campus and document per the GENI Aggregate Provider Agreement)?
MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.b Purchase and distribute Quanta switches)?
MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.c Release OpenFlow 1.1 draft specification)?
MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.d "Implement, test, and release a major OF Spiral 3 release")?
MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.e Continue to integrate campus networks with GENI (run AM integrated with other Aggregates))?
MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.f "Implement, test, and release a second major release of OF software")?
MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.g Support at least four multi-site GENI experiments)?
MilestoneDate(OFSTAN: S3.h Support OpenFlow software used in GENI campus OpenFlow deployments through Spiral 3)?
