Faucet SDN Tutorial

Participate in a hands-on tutorial to install and configure the Open Source Faucet SDN controller. Configure a virtual network topology using Open vSwitch as a switch and network namespaces as hosts, controlled via the OpenFlow protocol by a faucet controller. Explore various Faucet features including VLANs, ACLs, and Routing. Monitor the network using Prometheus and create dashboards in Grafana to view performance data. Suitable for both beginners and advanced users in SDN, this 1 hour 38 minute session at linux.conf.au provides flexibility to accommodate different skill levels. Learn about Faucet, a compact open source OpenFlow controller that enables network operators to manage networks like server clusters, moving control functions to vendor-independent server-based software for easier management, testing, and extension using modern systems management practices and tools.
