Layer-two peering across SAVI and GENI testbeds using HyperExchange

We demonstrate the peering of virtual networks between the SAVI and GENI testbeds using HyperExchange1, a software-defined exchange fabric. The exchange is deployed between the physical networks of the two testbeds. Specifically, a layer-two WAN including nodes in SAVI testbed is peered with a VLAN in GENI testbed without using encapsulation and overlays. Each of these testbeds has a different logic to create and manage layer-two networks, so this demonstration shows how the HyperExchange is protocol-agnostic and allows tenants to create networks across dissimilar networks.
