Demo Abstract: A demonstration of automatic configuration of OpenFlow in wireless ad hoc networks

Abstract

Using OpenFlow, a network can be controlled from one or more servers called controllers. In the demonstration, we show automatic configuration of OpenFlow in a wireless ad hoc network, deployed on a portable testbed, using MININET-WiFi (an emulator for software defined wireless networks). Automatic configuration is shown using a GUI (Graphical User Interface) which shows wireless nodes discovered by the controller. In addition, a video clip is streamed from one node to another and displayed in real time. The demonstration includes automatic configuration in the scenarios in which nodes move from one location to another.
