Zhenkai Wang, Fan Yang, Jianya Chen, Yunjie Liu · 2010
The lack of suitable way to get high-performance router testbed negatively affects the researches of new generation network in the campus laboratory. In this paper, we propose a novel and practical method to achieve high-performance router testbed based on Openflow and Click. This method only needs personal computers and hubs. Then we can get a load-balancing high-performance router testbed, and the testbed can be expanded to support network virtualization. The load-balancing high-performance router testbed is software-based and modular, so it is low cost and easy to dispose, manage and expand. The load-balancing high-performance router testbed provides a new idea for setting up high-performance network experiment environment in the campus laboratory.
