ENTGENI and OFUW
Spiral 2 Year-end Project Review
University of Washington
PI: Arvind Krishnamurthy, Clare Donahue, Tom Anderson
Staff: Vjeko Brajkovic
Students: Colin Dixon, Hardeep Uppal, Dane Brandon
Aug 25, 2010
Sponsored by the National Science Foundation
Project Summary
• Deploy OpenFlow networking in the CS building at Univ. of
Washington
• Support research and production use on the same testbed
• Develop components for experimenting with the
placement of networking functionality
– (E.g., at the edge on end-hosts or in the core using software
programmable routers)

Accomplishments
Advancing GENI Spiral 2 Goals
•
Deployed OpenFlow 1.0 with support for slicing of production traffic along with
experimental traffic
•
Deployment includes both wireless and wired users; 4 OpenFlow switches
and multiple WiFi access points.
•
Setup cross-campus experiments using Layer-3 connectivity
–
–
Plug-n-Serve: Stanford and UW at GEC-7
Aster*x: Stanford, UW and two other campuses at GEC-8
•
Developed trusted computing components for pushing network management
functionality into end-hosts
•
Developed network management modules for distributed topology mapping,
sensing resource demands, etc.

Plans
• Increase the number of production users, scale up the number of
OpenFlow switches in the deployment
• Establishing layer-2 connectivity using a dark fiber to the Pacific
GigaPoP
• Establish multiple demos using the deployment at UW and other
campuses:
– A wide-area load-balancing system
– Real-time diagnoses and troubleshooting of wide-area networking problems
• Developing an “operating system” for networks:
– Distributed NOX controller
– Distributed resource allocation mechanisms
– Software defined networking implementations of NAT, TCP accelerators, Deep
Packet Inspection, etc.
