Mobile computing devices, industrial control systems, and service provider clouds often need to be connected to each other over wide area networks. However, reliability, quality of services and confidentiality are challenging in such setups. Moreover, isolated appliances and physical equipment face harsh environment conditions. In this paper we explore designing secure layer 2 overlay networks using Software Defined Networking (SDN), and challenges in implementing them with open source tools.
