Introduction
Context
• The architecture of TCP / IP (Internet) is a huge success since its adoption 30 years ago:– Adopted in 1985 by the NSF as architecture for the
NSFNET network– Extended to the commercial world from 1999 (created
the "bubble" of 2000)– Continues to expand to control almost all digital
communications in the world– Due to the high flexibility of the architecture– Facilitates the incorporation of new means of transport
4
Context
5
• The flexibility is due to complete separation between applications and transmission details used:
Context
• However it introduces difficulties to the modification of network abstraction used:– prevents differential treatment for applications that
require special QoS– A single terminal equipment has multiple IP
addresses, if it has a redundant connectivity– Handsets (not always connected) cause “difficulties”
between transparency and mobility– Security "came after", and became essential for
almost all activities today
6
• The ability of Internet architecture to absorb patches is running out
Context
Future Internet • Overcoming this limitation requires changing this architecture
through the design called Future Internet (FI)• Research FI consists of:
– Discuss how the new architecture will be developed for the Internet;
– Evaluate alternative proposals for this new architecture;– Develop procedures to adopt the new architecture.
8
Future Internet
• FI triggered a race for development testbeds to experimentally evaluate alternative solutions for the Future Internet;
• Europe, the United States, Japan and Brazil (among others) have been developing proposals:
– GENI (U.S.) www.geni.net
– FIRE (E U) www.ict-fire.eu/home
– Akari (Japan) http://akari-project.nict.go.jp/eng
9
Future Internet
• Providing environments for large scale experimentation requires:
– Coexistence with the network traffic of production;
– Environment should be flexible and programmable (software defined network) so that researchers can quickly define and validate their proposals

FIBRE at a Glance
FIBRE objectives
Create a common space between the EU and Brazil for
Future Internet (FI) experimental researchinto
network infrastructure and distributed applications,by
building and operating a federated EU-Brazil Future internet experimental facility.
The project will design, implement and validate a shared Future Internet research facility between Brazil and Europe, supporting the joint Future Internet
experimentation of European and Brazilian researchers

•Project dissemination D6.1, D6.2, D6.3, MS19, MS20
•Project management D1.1, D1.2, D1.3, MS1, MS2
Development of infrastructure/substrate
• In order to define and develop the FIBRE-BR infrastructure we worked on:
• Specification of technical requirements ( network and computer) to purchase the equipment
• Acquisition of network and computer equipment • Defining the topology for each island based on the local
infrastructure• Design of network connections for integrating the islands
to one another • Define a strategy plan to deploy the testbed• Deployment and testing of individual facilities
21
SPECIFICATION OF TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT
• FIBRE-BR is composed by the set of hardware/software.– OpenFlow Switchs– Servers– Wireless Nodes– CMF (OCF/OMF/VM)
• These devices were defined in the according the requirements of Brazilian CMF
• Created the commissions (groups) to generate specification to buy FIBRE equipment (RFP - Request For Proposal).

DEFINING THE TOPOLOGY FOR EACH FACILITY
• The figure show the FIBRE equipment allocate in the rack.
• In the top of rack you have two switch.– Control Switch (manage and control
equipment)– OpenFlow Switch (create
experiments)
• The next equipment is called FIBRE Virtual Server where CMF is installed.
• The three Openflow NetFPGA Servers
• In the bottom of rack were allocate the ICARUS nodes.
25
DEFINING THE TOPOLOGY FOR EACH FACILITY
• This figure show the physycal connections among all the equipment in a FIBRE-BR facility.
• The green line constitutes the control plane.
• The yellow lines show the data plane links.

Final Considerations
• FIBRE is a showcase project in international collaboration in Future Internet– Demonstrate local capacity to collaborate with leading
European projects in this important area– Provide local experimental facilities for validating and
demonstrating new FI proposals– Provide opportunity for extension to and participation by
researchers from other Latin American countries– Promote involvement of and technology transfer to the
industrial sector, to prepare for Future Internet needs, especially involving OpenFlow and SDN approaches.
Benefits
