The document discusses the evolution and current state of FIBRE, a large-scale Future Internet testbed spanning Brazil and Europe. FIBRE originally aimed to design, implement, and validate a shared testbed for experimentation. It now includes 10 nodes in Brazil and 3 in Europe. The testbed is federating internationally and within Brazil to support more experimental projects. It interconnects to networks in Europe and the US through virtualized slices on production OpenFlow backbones at RNP in Brazil and AmLight in the US. This allows experimental facilities while maintaining production network stability and availability.

FIBRE on AmLight
1. FIBRE on AmLight
Enabling experimentation over a
production SDN backbone

2. Evolution of FIBRE: a large-scale Future
Internet testbed facility
• Original objective: design, implement and validate a shared large-scale
testbed to support experimental research in Future Internet.
• Studies began in 2008, inspired by GENI (USA) and by the FIRE (Future
Internet Research and Experimentation) program of the EU
• Funding provided 2011-2014 through the 2010 1st Coordinated Call in
ICT between Brazil and the EU, supporting a single FI testbed project,
FIBRE (FI testbed/experimentation between Brazil and Europe).
• FIBRE includes 10 nodes in Brazil and 3 in the EU. The follow-on FIBRE2
project is being funded in Brazil to support the operation, maintenance
and expansion of the existing testbed, for use by the approved project
on “experimental platforms” selected in the 2014 3rd CC.
• On-going conversations were initiated in 2013 to promote the
international federation of the FI testbeds, including FIBRE.
10. Technical details and issues
• Interconnection solutions
• RNP backbone: slice of dedicated OpenFlow switches interconnected through
L2VPNs (MPLS+QinQ) over a non-OpenFlow backbone
• AmLight backbone: slice of a production SDN backbone of virtualized Brocade
OpenFlow switches
• Production vs Experimentation mindset
• How to provide the same features and experience of a dedicated experimental
facility but keeping the stability and availability of a production environment?
• FIBRE slices on production OpenFlow Switches
• Packtins (Reactive mode) are disabled on AmLight switches
• Specific flows wre installed per slice to restore reactive behavior
• FlowVisor Topology Discovery service required untagged LLDP packets using reactive
mode of OpenFlow
• Layer 2 Tunnels vs SDN virtualization
• Moving the overhead from the data to the control plane
