Last Friday, 13th November the 5th SDN workshop took place at the SWITCH premises in Zurich. With 9 presentations covering different aspects of Software Defined Networking and around 40 attendees, we are happy to bring together the academia and industry partners on the same table in order to provide to the community a complete overview […]
The Problem Cloud networking bases on tech and protocols that were not initially designed for it. This has lead to unnecessary overhead and complexity in all phases of a cloud service. Tunneling protocols generate inherent cascading and encapsulation especially in multi tenant systems. The problem increases by vendor specific configuration requirements and heterogenous architectures. This complexity […]
Yesterday for the 4th time the ICCLab organized the SDN workshop at the University of Bern in cooperation with SWITCH. We had around 25 participants and 7 talks that tackled SDN in the world of cloud computing, NFV, IXP, video content delivery, high performance cloud, authentication request routing and access control etc. All these solutions […]
ICCLab is happy to announce the upcoming SDN Workshop, that we are co-organising with SWITCH, will take place on Thursday, 11th of June 2015 – 09:00am to 6:00pm. Location: University of Bern, Main Building, HG , 1st. Floor, Room 115 The aim of this Workshop is to share knowledge, have hands on sessions/presentations on SDN/NFV, Security, […]
Description Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a technology that has introduced an important paradigm shift in the networking world. With the OpenFlow protocol as a main technological enabler, the essential goal is to extend the conventional network configuration approach by introducing the concept of network control and programmability. The advances in the OpenFlow protocol and […]
The iJoin-Project is organizing an 5G-Winter-School, hosted by the University of Bremen. As part of the very distinct and representative program, the ICCLab is invited to present the latest results of the Mobile-Cloud-Networking (MCN) project.
Some impressions and take-aways from the event.
For our SDK4SDN work we made a comparison between two SDN controllers: Ryu and Opendaylight. We focused on the Northbound APIs of the controllers and we compared the capabilities and ease of use of their respective REST APIs. Both controllers support REST, which is based on a mix of HTTP, JSON and XML. In Ryu a WSGI web server […]
We at ICCLab are embarking upon an exciting project to make a software development kit to enable SDN researchers develop exciting products and innovative protocols overcoming the challenges and drawbacks of decades old network protocols in use today. We had a huge debate internally to decide which programming language to use for this development. Since, […]
The 11th Future Internet Assembly will take place from 18 to 20 March 2014 in Athens, Greece. This year the focus will be on “Reshaping the Future Internet infrastructure for innovation”. Open call has been launched to select the best 9 FIA working sessions for the conference, selecting the proposals that cover aspects related to: […]
So this is our second post about a learning Switch and as promised, it covers OpenFlow 1.3. Before we go into the details, this is what you should already know about SDN and OpenFlow: General SDN Paradigm, otherwise go and read this A common understanding about what OpenFlow is in contrast to SDN What a simple […]
