Gates Deployment

From OpenFlow Wiki

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.

Tools

We use the following tools in our testbed:

• Monitoring-data visualization
• Control-traffic debugger
• Network Visualization
• Tunneling/Extend OpenFlow Network
