...ase canstarget different execution environments for the experiments,sby means of a specific “Deployer”. So far, we targeted onesemulator (Mininet) and two distributed SDN testbeds (thesOFELIA testbed =-=[3]-=- and the GÉANT OpenFlow Facility -sGOFF). By default, Mininet only provides the emulation ofshosts and switches. We extended Mininet introducing ansextended host, capable of running as a router and ma...

Then we havesadded Open vSwitch to it, as needed to realize the OSHI node.sThe details on the specific Mininet deployment architecturescan be found in =-=[4]-=-. The Mininet Extensions library is able tosautomate all the aspects of an experiment. This includes thesautomatic configuration of IP addresses and of dynamicsrouting (OSPF daemons) in all nodes, the...

The first implementation of oursmanagement tools has been described in =-=[2]-=-.sA. Design PhasesThe Topology3D offers a web GUI to design a networkstopology and to configure the services for an experiment (seesFigure 1). It consists in a JavaScript client and a Python backend. ...
