Summary:
This paper presents motivation and goals of the ALIEN - EU FP7 project. The main goal of the project is to provide an experimentally verified OpenFlow Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for controlling the forwarding behavior of non-OpenFlow capable hardware. The general idea of HAL and its implementation in non-OpenFlow capable hardware are presented. The performance of HAL implementation will be tested using OFELIA experimental infrastructure, especially, the OFELIA Control Framework. Proposed solution will extend OpenFlow functionality on different kind of programmable devices, which will be used in SDN network.
