Software and Deployment Update-- Stanford University -- GEC11 July 2011
Future release plans • NOX • August: Python-stripped NOX released • September: Python-only research controller released • October: NOX destiny merge and release • Expedient/OIM • October: Fix bugs listed in JIRA • GEC12: Introduce new RSpec • FlowVisor • October: Improved isolation between slices • Beyond: Additional support for stitching
Stanford deployments • Wired network in Gates 3A for 18 users over 7 rooms • Open wireless network with 35 APs and max of 20 users in Gates bldg • Demo network (and GENI substrate) with 7 switches and few NetFPGA nodes • VICCI cluster with 70 nodes • Upcoming wifi deployment in Packard building • Production deployment in CIS bldg with 7 switches + 17 APs, serving 50 PCs + max of 15 wifi users
Next steps for Stanford deployment • Experimentation • Stable GENI network with powerful PL nodes • Work with Princeton and introduce OpenFlow in VICCI cluster • Production • Gates: • Try new switches and controllers • Packard: • Open wireless deployment • Introduce OpenFlow in a class room • CIS: • Expanding OF deployment to more class rooms and APs • OF-enabled home network
Next steps for deployment (contd.) • Stanford IT is evaluating OpenFlow • For Network Administration • Guest Access (Wireless & Wired) • Campus Wireless • Data Center • Campus Back-bone Network • Delegated Management • Sharing infrastructure between depts • For Residences • In-House Guest Wireless • Network Access For Non-Affiliated Users • IPTV and Google Fiber-to-the-Door • For Science Community • Better connectivity to Other Research Communities • For Network Researchers • Shared Infrastructure
