Routing a Production Enterprise Network with Faucet, with Brad Cowie from WAND - a podcast by Ben Pfaff

Brad Cowieis a member of theWAND Network Research Groupat theUniversity of Waikato, in Hamilton,
New Zealand. He is also a core member of the Faucet project whichdevelops an open source OpenFlow controller for enterprise networks,
which he uses to build production OpenFlow networks.

This episode is a recording of atalkthat Brad gave at theOpenStack Summit in
Sydneyon Nov. 6, with the following abstract:

Within the WAND network research group at the University of Waikato, we
operate a 100% OpenFlow-controlled network for research/teaching/BYODtraffic. The access/aggregation layer of this network is provided by
vendor OpenFlow switches (most running embedded OpenvSwitch with ASIC SDKdrivers to drive merchant silicon). The core routing for the network is
provided by a linux server running a high-speed userspace OpenvSwitchbridge accelerated by DPDK. The entire network is controlled by our open
source OpenFlow v1.3 controller, Faucet. We also introduce ourtest-driven methodology for implementing network features in Faucet and
how this can also be applied to operating a network.
