Hi Rohit, I lead the Aster*x project at Stanford. What you want to do sounds very similar to Aster*x.
Aster*x, formerly known as Plug-n-Serve, was demonstrated at Sigcomm 2009. You can find the abstract and video at: http://www.openflowswitch.org/wk/index.php/Videos#SIGCOMM_demos A couple of weeks ago, we had a major demo at GEC9, where we demonstrated Aster*x working across 9 US campuses. The abstract is up at: http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/Gec9PlenaryDemoAbstracts The video will be up online soon. I hope you find this useful for your project.
