OFELIA Control Framework (OCF) is a set of software tools for testbed management. It controls experimentation life-cycle; reservation, instantiation, configuration, monitoring and uninstantiation.

Features:

• Full software stack: front-end, clearinghouse and resources managers (AMs)
• Support for management of Openflow, Virtual Machines (currently XEN) and Emulab resources.

OCF has been deployed for OFELIA FP7 project testbed, the European Openflow testbed. The ideas behind its architecture are heavily influenced by the experience of other testbed management tools and GENI architectural concepts. Take a look at Overview section for more details.
