Deployment)
Overview
The production network in the 3A wing of William Gates Building at Stanford University is OpenFlow-enabled. In our network, we deploy six 48-port 1GE OpenFlow
Ethernet switches, 30 WiFi APs, and 1 WiMAX base-station.
The testbed includes the following devices:
- OpenFlow-enabled switches from NEC (IP8800), HP (ProCurve 5406ZL) and Toroki (LS4810). We use VLAN configurations on each switch to isolate the legacy non-OpenFlow network from the OpenFlow network, and FlowVisor to isolate the individual OpenFlow slices.
- WiFi APs based on the ALIX PCEngine boxes with dual 802.11g interfaces. The APs run the Linux-based software reference switch from the OpenFlow website, and are powered by passive power over Ethernet to reduce the cabling needed for our deployment.
- WiMAX base-station built by NEC.
