Project Summary

• We are deploying OpenFlow switches across multiple buildings across the Georgia Tech campus and deploying a next-generation access control framework within the context of this setup.

• Developed a Network Access Control system (GT Resonance) that is in operation on campus.

• Demonstrations at GEC 7 and a multi-site version of this framework was demonstrated at GEC 8

• We have deployed FlowVisor at Georgia Tech and have a preliminary deployment completed.

• We have upgraded to OpenFlow 1.0.

Accomplishments 1: Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals

• Deployment of OpenFlow enabled switches across multiple buildings on campus

– 2 Quanta, 2 HP, 2 NEC

– Deployment and testing of NoX, FlowVisor and SNAC

• Successful use of OpenFlow, Planetlab, and BGP Mux in graduate course projects

• Integration with other GENI components

– BGP Mux, ProtoGENI (in progress)

• Active users on Opt-In wireless network

• OpenFlow VLANs plumbed from Clemson and GPO into OF infrastructure

Issues

• NEC switches are ordered but delayed in arrival. These will be deployed in the Technology Square Research Building (TSRB) for up to 100 production, wired users.

• We are still pursuing a wider deployment of OpenFlow on the campus using already deployed HP switches. Progress on this planned activity has been delayed because of support issues with HP.

Plans

• Additional deployment across campus– 4 NEC on order, pending HP support for wider

deployment• Interconnection with additional campuses

– For GEC9 demos• Further integration into graduate networking courses• Integration with BGP Mux and other GENI components• Working towards deployment of Stanford’s OpenFlow

Aggregate Manager – Expedient• Integration with campus production management tools
