EtherFlow:SDN中的原则性无线支持

ÆtherFlow: Principled Wireless Support in SDN

Muxi Yan, Jasson Casey, Prithviraj Shome, Alex Sprintson, Andrew Sutton

摘要:

软件定义网络(SDN)彻底改变了设计、构建、测试和运营网络的意义和过程。目前SDN技术对无线网络的支持已经落后于有线网络的开发和部署。这项工作的目的是为无线接入网络带来原则性的支持,以便它们可以获得与有线接口相同的可编程性水平。具体来说,我们的目标是通过提出一套新的无线设备和接口的抽象来操作它们,从而将无线协议集成到一般的SDN框架中。我们验证我们的方法,通过实现我们的设计作为现有的OpenFlow数据平面的扩展,并将其部署在IEEE 802.11接入点。我们证明了软件定义的无线接入网络的可行性,通过开发和测试的无线切换应用程序。实验的结果表明,我们的框架是能够提供新的功能,在一个有效的方式。

英文摘要:

Software Defined Networking (SDN) drastically changes the meaning and process of designing, building, testing, and operating networks. The current support for wireless net- working in SDN technologies has lagged behind its development and deployment for wired networks. The purpose of this work is to bring principled support for wireless access networks so that they can receive the same level of programmability as wireline interfaces. Specifically we aim to integrate wireless protocols into the general SDN framework by proposing a new set of abstractions in wireless devices and the interfaces to manipulate them. We validate our approach by implementing our design as an extension of an existing OpenFlow data plane and deploying it in an IEEE 802.11 access point. We demonstrate the viability of software-defined wireless access networks by developing and testing a wireless handoff application. The results of the exper- iment show that our framework is capable of providing new capabilities in an efficient manner.
