SDN/NFV & OpenFlow Group at HSN Lab
We are a research group in High Speed Networks Laboratory (HSNLab) hosted by the Department of Telecommunications and Media Informatics (TMIT) at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). We have been working on several topics related to OpenFlow since the launch of the protocol. Our recent and current members are full-time researchers, Ph.D. students, graduate and undergraduate students (M.Sc. and B.Sc.). This site is dedicated to summarize the research and education activities of the group.
News

Research
Research goals
The interest of our group is twofold. On the one hand, we do theoretical and applied routing/forwarding research especially in the areas of
- inter-domain policy routing,
- Bloom filters,
- greedy and geographical routing,
- network coding and
- data center routing.
Beside research activities, we usually create working prototypes for our routing designs, as well. We would also kindly participate in running any kind of experiments in large scale OpenFlow testbeds.
On the other hand, we are interested in
- network virtualization based on OpenFlow and the
- design and implementation of a management architecture/framework for OpenFlow domain.
Publications and activities
Our recent publications are collected in the following page:
For the details of our recent demos, see:
- EWSDN 2014 Demo
- SIGCOMM 2014 Demo
- SIGCOMM 2013 Demo
- ONS 2013 Demo
- SIGCOMM 2012 Demo
- INFOCOM 2012 Demo
We have organized a Tutorial and Demo session in EUNICE 2012, 18th EUNICE Conference on Information and Communications Technologies. The corresponding materials can be found here.
We have participated in OpenLab: extending FIRE testbeds and tools FP7 project working on ALLEGRA: Large-scale experiments on geo-location aware greedy routing architecture.
We are currently participating in UNIFY: Unifying Cloud and Carrier Networks FP7 project.
Education
We are working with graduate and undergraduate students in several areas. On the one hand, we have project works on OpenFlow topics for students regarding prototype implementations, testbed experiments and theoretical aspects, as well. On the other hand, different laboratory works are integrated to labs of specializations conducted by our department, and a dedicated course on Software Defined Networking and OpenFlow is coming soon.
