Stanford deployments• Wired network in Gates 3A for

18 users over 7 rooms

• Open wireless network with 35 APs and max of 20 users in Gates bldg

• Demo network (and GENI substrate) with 7 switches and few NetFPGA nodes

• VICCI cluster with 70 nodes

• Upcoming wifi deployment in Packard building

• Production deployment in CIS bldg with 7 switches + 17 APs, serving 50 PCs + max of 15 wifi users

Stanford demo network

Next steps for Stanford deployment

• Experimentation– Stable GENI network with powerful PL nodes– Work with Princeton and introduce OpenFlow in VICCI cluster

• Production– Gates:

• Try new switches and controllers

– Packard:• Open wireless deployment • Introduce OpenFlow in a class room

– CIS:• Expanding OF deployment to more class rooms and APs

– OF-enabled home network

Next steps for deployment (contd.)

• Stanford IT is evaluating OpenFlow – For Network Administration

• Guest Access (Wireless & Wired)• Campus Wireless• Data Center• Campus Back-bone Network• Delegated Management• Sharing infrastructure between depts

– For Residences• In-House Guest Wireless• Network Access For Non-Affiliated Users• IPTV and Google Fiber-to-the-Door

– For Science Community• Better connectivity to Other Research Communities

– For Network Researchers• Shared Infrastructure
