Status Report 2

Project Title: Load Balancing in Virtualized Data Center Network

using SDN
Advisor Name: Dr. Greg Bernstein
1) Accomplished last week:

2) Plan

Researched about approaches towards the problem

statement
Short-listed controllers (Floodlight, Beacon, RYU)
Continued programming in Python
Learnt about the various architectures in Mininet
Learnt about ECMP and VLM Load balancing algorithms
in DCN
for Next week:

Meet with the Advisor

Learn about different architectures used by various
organizations
Learn about Cisco ACI (Application Centric
Infrastructure)
Cisco ACI is a policy driven Data Center Architecture, It
is newly proposed, need to decide whether it can be
deployed in the current problem statement
Developing Python scripts for deploying fat-tree, leafand-spine architectures on Mininet
3) Schedule:

Touch Behind schedule

Activities :
Mininet
Data Center Architectures of various
organizations
Python scripting for building architectures
4) To-Do for getting back on Schedule:

Extra time for project research every week

Start working on implementation
Speed up decisions on problem statement approach and
other relevant details
