11^{th AINTEC 2015}

We present the design and prototype implementation of an open source OpenFlow 1.3 switch called Lagopus. The main target of the Lagopus is to achieve performance and functionality required for wide-area network nodes. We report the prototype realizes 10Gbps level flow processing performance on commodity Intel x86 servers by leveraging the state of the art of multi-core CPUs and network I/O. We also report it almost fully supports the OpenFlow 1.3 specification including the handling of protocols which are commonly used in wide-area networks, e.g. MPLS and PBB. Moreover, we report public experiments of the Lagopus for several use cases include SDN-IX and segment routing.
