OFELIA – Japan interconnectionHagen Woesner,

Coordinator of OFELIA project

Agenda

Development and Experimentation on federated EU-Japan Testbeds

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.

https://github.com/fp7-ofelia/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 configurationInternal Controller: controls those switches that are hidden to the controllerVT 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?
