Pushing Software Defined Networking to the access
Location
Budapest, Hungary
This talk describes my work in making an access device (Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network) OpenFlow enabled. This is done via a proxy which uses VLAN tagging. The software is public source and available https://github.com/richardclegg/xcpd. This software should be adaptable to work with any access device of similar specification.
This is the talk for the European Workshop on Software Defined Networks. It describes the implementation of OpenFlow 1.0 on a Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network. The work describes a generic approach that should work on a number of different access technologies to make them OpenFlow ready. In specific, the work give details on what would be necessary to port the approach used to a new access device.
