OFELIA – Japan interconnection
Hagen Woesner,
Coordinator of OFELIA project
Agenda
Current Status of OFELIA
– OpenFlow testbed in Europe established
– GÉANT collaboration
– External connections: RNP, Internet2, RISE
•
Details on RISE-OFELIA connection
Tools for control and federation
– OFELIA control framework
– AMSoil
– Vertigo
Next steps
– OFELIA island in RISE
– Test it, move OpenVPN connection, then operate day-to-day

Tools for control and federation
OFELIA Control Framework ( OCF )
• OCF is a set of software tools for testbed management. It
controls experimentation life-cycle; reservation, instantiation,
configuration, monitoring and uninistantiation.
– Full software stack: frontend, clearinghouse and resource
managers (AMs)
– Support for management of OpenFlow, Virtual Machines
(currently XEN) and .
– Control framework components:
• Frontend (Expedient)
• OF AM (Optin)
• VM AM (VTAM)

Tools for control and federation
Amsoil
• AMSoil is a light-weight
framework for creating
Aggregate Managers in
testbeds.
– AMsoil is a pluggable
system and provides the
necessary glue between
RPC-Handlers and
Resource Managers .
– Also it provides helpers
for common tasks in AM
development.

Tools for control and federation
Vertigo
Node Virtualizer: multiplexes multiple
control channels between the physical
network and VeRTIGO into a single
virtual channel between VeRTIGO and
the controller
Port Mapper: rewrites port numbers in
the OpenFlow messages consistently
with the virtual topology configuration
Internal Controller: controls those
switches that are hidden to the
controller
VT Planner: implements a path
selection
algorithm
to
efficiently
aggregate physical nodes and links into
virtual links

Next steps
• OFELIA and RISE federation
– We have connected, but not yet federated
– Automated use of components should be possible
– SFA could be the blueprint?
• Further use cases?
– Large scale testbeds different from local ones?
– What is the real issue, why do we build this?
