  <description>
    <p>
      <a href="https://wand.nz/~brad/">Brad Cowie</a> is a member of the <a
      href="https://wand.net.nz/">WAND Network Research Group</a> at the <a
      href="https://www.waikato.ac.nz/">University of Waikato</a>, in Hamilton,
      New Zealand.  He is also a core member of the Faucet project which
      develops an open source OpenFlow controller for enterprise networks,
      which he uses to build production OpenFlow networks.

      This episode is a recording of a <a
      href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/summit-schedule/events/20415/providing-routing-on-a-production-enterprise-network-with-faucet-and-openvswitch">talk</a>
      that Brad gave at the <a
      href="https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/">OpenStack Summit in
      Sydney</a> on Nov. 6, with the following abstract:
    </p>

    <blockquote>
      Within the WAND network research group at the University of Waikato, we
      operate a 100% OpenFlow-controlled network for research/teaching/BYOD
      traffic.  The access/aggregation layer of this network is provided by
      vendor OpenFlow switches (most running embedded OpenvSwitch with ASIC SDK
      drivers to drive merchant silicon).  The core routing for the network is
      provided by a linux server running a high-speed userspace OpenvSwitch
      bridge accelerated by DPDK.  The entire network is controlled by our open
      source OpenFlow v1.3 controller, Faucet.  We also introduce our
      test-driven methodology for implementing network features in Faucet and
      how this can also be applied to operating a network.
