SD-LANs for Smart Environments
Use of Open vSwitch for our demo
• Residential gateways
using Open vSwitch
v2.3.1 for our two-
home demonstration
scenario
• Programming flow
tables to enforce SD-
LAN rules
2015 internship on that
topic with a student
from UPMC: call for
external functions
from the Open vSwitch

Future Spaces – Potential internships
Future Spaces = evolution of SD-LAN concept
1. Tunnelized IoT protocols such as bluetooth, zigbee, weave, … (Q1)
SD-LAN with such protocols: remote communication of devices as if they were in the
same LAN. Use of open source libraries for that. Experimental demonstrator set-up.
2. Generic interface between Open vSwitch and VNFs (e.g., NAT, Firewall) (Q1)
State-of-the-Art, SW architecture design and implementation (Kernel, DPDK),
performance analysis (latency benchmarking).
3. Generalized OpenFlow with generic pattern matching (Q1)
State-of-the-Art, SW architecture design and implementation (e.g., DPDK) and
performance evaluation of the prototype.
4. Generalized OpenFlow for bit-stream network (Q3)
Study of the usage of Generalized OpenFlow for green-field networking solutions.
Implementation on an experimental platform and performance evaluation.
5. SDN in terminals: SDN controllers for COs… (Q3)

Self-Adaptive VO Chaining – Potential internships
Self-Adaptive VO Chaining = focus on IoT-based service “self-management”
Self-built catalog of CoVOs, CoVO self-healing, (Co)VO self-recommendation…
We already defined a modeling framework based on attributed typed graphs (2015 internship) that
we are using for IoT-based service classification
1. IoT-based service generator tool (CoVO generator)
Objective:
In order to consolidate and validate algorithms to classify IoT-based services (CoVOs), we need to
automatically generate IoT-based service examples
Expected realizations:
Analysis of existing resources about IoT devices and IoT-based services, data models, …
SW design and development for the IoT-based service generator: exploitation of the existing
resources, generation and handling of lot of instances of VO models for IoT devices and CoVO
models for IoT-based service, development of a user interface for VO/CoVO
representation/visualization, CoVO composition from VOs, output data file export for simulations…
Use case: exploitation of the generator tool to validate some of our CoVO classification algorithms
Desired skills:
Programming (C or Java), algorithm design, graph theory, simulations

Security and SDN
Potential internship
1. Trusted path computation and enforcement in SDN
Context: support security and sovereignty policies for the transfer of sensitive data
Expected realizations:
Specification/design of a SDN-based network application for trusted-path
Implementation on a SDN controller (e.g., OpenDaylight)
Experimentation on a SDN platform (with OpenFlow physical switches and Open vSwitch virtual
switches)
Desired skills:
Knowledge about SDN
Knowledge about Open vSwitch or OpenDaylight
• General questions:

Intelligent Optical Networks – Internship proposal
1. Leveraging monitoring information to design optical networks
Context: data mining in optical networks
Novel optical network design techniques based on the collection of information during network
operation to anticipate any performance fluctuation.
Objective: decrease network design cost through the reduction of various margins with better
optical network dimensioning.
Expected realizations:
Set up a network simulator that mimics optical network monitoring functions
Use the monitoring data to extract key features about the network physical layer
Improve the prediction of the network performance.
Desired skills:
Analytical skills: linear algebra, probabilities.
Coding: Java or Matlab.
Background in data mining / big data.
Background in telecommunication networks would be a plus, but is not mandatory.
Background in optical communication would be a plus, but is not mandatory.
