Connecting NetOpen nodes for NetOpen resource aggregation
Namgon Kim, JongWon Kim · Proceedings of the Asia-Pacific Advanced Network · 2012
NetOpen RA (Resource Aggregate) is the programmable network substrate containing resources supporting OpenFlow-based programmable networking. A number of experiments can be performed by sharing resources built by connecting NetOpen nodes. As today's Internet does not support layer-2 (L2) data-plane connectivity required for OpenFlow-based programmable networking, tunneling techniques are important in building NetOpen RA with NetOpen nodes. In this paper, we present several tunneling techniques and evaluate the performance of the connections according to tunneling techniques. We also present demonstration experiences with the NetOpen RA.
