“…We developed The Slice Controller Interface component using a web-based user interface built on top of Bootstrap [23], along with AngularJS [24]. The implementation of the internal components of the slicing service layer has been implemented using the Control and Management Framework (OMF) version 6, specially the Resource Management Framework (or OMF Broker) and the Resource Controllers (or RCs) [25], [26]. The OMF framework contains the required tools to load pre-configured images, allowing the installation, configuration and execution of software stacks in a timely manner.…”

In the context of 5G networks, the concept of network slicing allows network providers to flexibly share infrastructures with mobile service providers and verticals. While this concept has been widely investigated considering mostly the network issues, in this work we focus on a slice as a service model that takes into account the data center (DC) perspective. In particular, we propose an architecture where DC slices are created over transformable (compute and storage) resources, which can be virtualized or de-virtualized on-demand. Then, on top of each slice, an on-demand VIM is instantiated to control the allocated resources. As a realization of this architecture, we introduce the DC Slice Controller, a system able to deploy and delivery full operational VIMs based on generic templates. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system deploying three VIMs (VLSP, Kubernetes, and OpenStack) over commodity hardware. Experimental results show that the DC Slice Controller can timely provide a slice even when dealing with sophisticated VIMs such as OpenStack. As an example, we were able to delivery a fully functional OpenStack in four nodes in less than 10 minutes.

“…Atualmente, a testbed consiste em uma federação de 14 ilhas de experimentação, cada uma contendo um núcleo comum de switches Open-Flow, servidores para computação e armazenamento e um cluster de nós sem fio. Essa infraestruturaé gerenciada por um sistema de alocação de recursos e experimentação fortemente baseado no framework cOntrol and Management Framework versão 6.0, ou OMF6 [Stavropoulos et al 2015]. A Figura 2 ilustra os componentes arquiteturais principais de uma ilha do FIBRE.…”

This paper presents an assessment of the feasibility of deploying ondemand Virtualized Infrastructure Managers (VIMs), or VIM as a service, in the context of network slicing, where more than one VIM may be instantiated simultaneously. To perform this validation, we use the FIBRE's resource allocation and experimentation system. Experimental results show that it is feasible to instantiate VIMs on demand in these scenarios, even when dealing with more complex VIMs such as OpenStack.

“…The newest version of OMF, named OMF6, is even more extensible enabling the enhancement of its core functionality supported by the Broker [9] and the adaptation to various testbed specifications. More specifically, OMF6 defines a standardized protocol that may be used for controlling resources of any type, such as computers or sensors, networking equipment or any other SDN component.…”

Widely available and remotely accessible testbeds have been used for a direct comparison of innovative protocols and ideas with existing technologies. Therefore, multiple testbeds have been established, aiming at providing experimentation services with both wireless and wired networks. In this context, several frameworks have been developed that enable easy experimentation with the heterogeneous resources that the testbeds provide. However, most of these testbeds aim only in wireless/wired networking experimentation, resulting in unsimilar testbed control and experimentation tools. Several attempts have been made towards bridging this gap in order to allow experimentation with heterogeneous wired and wireless resources. In this article, we present our contributions in extending the state-of-the-art control and management framework for wireless testbeds with support for Software Defined Networking resources. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate two use cases that take advantage of our extensions using novel architectures and present our findings.
