GEC9 OpenFlow Demo

This is the home page for the amazing Openflow Demo at the GEC 9 Conference.

• When: November 2-4, 2010
• Where: Washington DC

Weekly GEC9 Demo Meeting: Tuesday, 2pm, Gates 392

• Meeting Minutes: 14-9-2010 23-9-2010 28-9-2010 5-10-2010 12-10-2010

Overall Plan

The demos will be in a 30 minute slot in the plenary session. Before us will be a number of GPO demos, some of them using OpenFlow. Our target audience are mostly the standard GEC attendees, although there may be decision makers from government funding agencies in the audience as well.

The current plan is to have four parts to the demo:

1. Introduction (8 min) -- Guido
2. Load balancing demo (8 min) -- Nikhil
3. Mobile demo (8 min) -- kk
4. Closing (4 min) -- Guru

This adds up to 28 minutes, 2 minutes are buffer. Demos will run across the campus GENI substrates at a number of universities that participate in the trials.

Logistics

Attendees from Stanford (add your name if you will be there): Guru, Guido, Nikhil, Masa, Srini, kk

Load Balancing Demo

Lead: Nikhil Handigol

Abstract Clean Slate Wiki Page

For the load balancing demo we have a number of servers at several locations in OpenFlow networks of Trial Participants (locations are TBD). To generate traffic we plan to ask conference attendees to do one of the following:

• Call a number which via a VoIP gateway is turned into flows that are load balanced over a number of servers
• Send a text message to a Google Voice number which is turned into email flows that are load-balanced over a number of servers. The servers respond back with a text message via an SMS Gateway.
• Access a web server which is load balanced across a number of servers

Tentative list of participants:

• Stanford
• U Washington - "Vjeko Brajkovic" <balkan@cs.washington.edu>
• U Wisconsin - "Aaron Gember" <agember@cs.wisc.edu>
• Georgia Tech - "Hyojoon Kim" <joonk@gatech.edu>
• Princeton U - "Chris Tengi" <tengi@cs.princeton.edu>
• GPOLab - "Chaos Golubitsky" <chaos@bbn.com>
• Indiana U and NLR - "Chris Small" <chsmall@indiana.edu>
• Clemson U - "Aaron Rosen" <arosen@clemson.edu>

Toll-Free Number:

I'm trying to get a toll-free number that the participants will call/text during the demo. Here are a few options:

• ***-***-GENI
• ***-***-GEC9
• ***-OPENFLO
• ***-OPENFLW
• ***-ASTERIX

TODO:

• Complete demo script and storyline slides (Nikhil)
• Testing/debugging infrastructure - how can we auto-generate 200+ calls? (Johan)
• Get a toll-free number and register with Twilio (Guido)
• Add SMS capability to the servers.
• Make the link to Princeton dynamic
  • Context: Princeton uses VLAN aggregated switches and the default discovery module doesn't work there. Srini has hardcoded the link into the controller for now.
• Visualization
  • How can we exploit multiple screens?
  • Zoom-in feature
  • Flow visualization
  • Phone numbers popping up at the servers

Wireless Handoff Demo

Lead: KK Yap

WirelessGEC9

The goal here is to show how wireless handoffs can be done in OpenFlow enabled networks without using an overlay architecture or home agents, but, with the switches themselves. The goals are the following:

• to demonstrate use of multiple wireless technologies
• and how that will improve video quality or user experience

The demonstration will involved a person cycling/motor-biking around Gates and Packard, handing over from one AP to another. A laptop with video camera will be streaming the view up to a server, that would be broadcasted on the screen. We can then use fast handover (i.e., associated with multiple APs and switching over quickly) or bicasting to show how we can improve the stream quality. Of course, adding WiMAX to the mix add to the demonstration.

Shows at demo site

• live video feed (uninterrupted) - Skype video conference
• map on where the person is connected
