Simplifying Development and Management of Software-Defined Networks

Computer networks are an important part of our life. Yet, they are traditionally hard to manage and operate. The recent shift to Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is promised to change the way in which the networks are run by their operators. However, SDN ...

Systematically testing OpenFlow controller applications

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Peter Peresini, Maciej Leszek Kuzniar, Jennifer Rexford

The emergence of OpenFlow-capable switches enables exciting new network functionality, at the risk of programming errors that make communication less reliable. The centralized programming model, where a single controller program manages the network, seems ...

OF.CPP: Consistent Packet Processing for OpenFlow

Dejan Kostic, Marco Canini, Peter Peresini, Maciej Leszek Kuzniar, Nedeljko Vasic

This paper demonstrates a new class of bugs that is likely to occur in enterprise OpenFlow deployments. In particular, step-by-step, reactive establishment of paths can cause network-wide inconsistencies or performance- and space-related inefficiencies. Th ...
