We have built and deployed OpenRoads [11], a testbed that allows multiple network experiments to be conducted concurrently in a production network. For example, multiple routing protocols, mobility managers and network access controllers can run simultaneously in the same network. In this paper, we describe and discuss our deployment of the testbed at Stanford University. We focus on the challenges we faced deploying in a production network, and the tools we built to overcome these challenges. Our goal is to gain enough experience for other groups to deploy OpenRoads in their campus network.
