Successful OpenSource projects…

…balance exploration and standardizationBalancing Innovation and

Standardization

Exploration vs. Rationalization

Strong Desire for One Common Platform

• Supports a wide range of use cases

(similar to Linux’s reach)

• Takes a modular/approach to architecture

(deploy only what you need)

• Supports the full range of operator

hardware (multiple southbound interfaces)

• Provides easy way to write once, work

everywhere (service abstraction layer)

• Need to support multiple protocols• YANG models

Some Questions Have Been Addressed...

While Others Still Remain:

• The role of policy / intent • How to scale out logically centralized control• Evolving role of OpenFlow• How to measure end-to-end controller performance

OpenDaylight in the WAN

● Objective: Self-provisioned

dynamic network services

● What: Telstra PEN Platform -

Layer 2 Ethernet virtual cross

connect (VXC) forwards frames

between any 2 endpoints on the

network

● How: MD-SAL application,

leveraging OpenFlow protocol

● Reach: 25 POPs and growing

Value to Fujitsu Customers“Open Plus”: Open Source advantages, Plus vendor-added value

Open Source advantages

Cross-vendor involvement improves multi-vendor device support

Community development increases speed of feature and bug fixes

Fujitsu functionality

Optical network provisioning and service restoration

Adding SDN automation to a historically manual and static realm

Domain-specific GUI and high-level APIs

Easy modularity

All Open Source APIs and features are available

User can add additional Fujitsu or Open Source apps onto platform

Turn-key vendor solution

Pre-packaged to reduce installation & configuration

Commercial support for immediate help

Value to Fujitsu (of using ODL)

Leveraging the value provided by the community

Easier to get started

Building on existing specialized platform

Allows focus on core competency

Easier to add value

Community is open to helping other developers

YANG models enable multivendor support like never before

Easier to maintain

Upstream bug fixes and features

Strong value in Formal Release / Service Release strategy

• Easier to go from Li-SR1 to Li-SR2 than from He to Li

Easier to support

Even vendors get value from being able to see the source code

Atypical customer data flows:

weather, finance, airlines,

government, energy -- mapping

packet switch infrastructure to optical

transport networks

SOLUTION:

Leverage ODL as a global controller

to enable SDN on MEO satellite

network, which provides consistent

and on-demand connection

#odsummit

Korea Telecom: T-SDN

CHALLENGE:OPEX increase by segmented operations

• For E2E Service Configuration, many domain operators should participate

• Delayed service deployment because of manual planning and provisioning

SOLUTION:Simplify and automate provisioning processes using T-SDN

#odsummit

Korea Telecom:T-SDN

KT ArchitectureAdopted open source SDN controller

(OpenDaylight Helium release)• To reduce time and cost for

development

Integrated with legacy transport NMS• Share inventory, topology and fault

information• Define YANG-model use in

memory data store for fast path computation

• Real-time synchronization for resource changes

• Adopted MSPP, OXC, and PRN plugins

NovoDC: An Example in Public/Private Cloud

Considerations & Observations

• VPC+Service Chain are the basic services in both Public/Private Cloud

• Openstack is the integral part

• vSwitch performance improved; vFW, vLB ready for certain deployments

• Service Chaining: multiple technologies including VxLAN extended/Openflow/NSH/other tags

How AT&T is Leveraging OpenDaylight• “AT&T open source is 5% of our code; our goal is to move to >50% by 2020.”—John

Donovan, Senior Executive Vice President, AT&T Technology and Operations

• OpenDaylight powers AT&T’s Network on Demand Enterprise L2 Service in over 100

markets

• The company is leveraging OpenDaylight for its global SDN controller

• AT&T is contributing to a new ODL project to support YANG models:

“We configure devices in our software-based network using a tool built on a data modeling

language called YANG. We’ll submit our customized YANG design tool into open source

through the OpenDaylight Community. Innovators will be able to create services that plug

into our software-defined framework.” –John Donovan, AT&T

How Caltech is Leveraging OpenDaylight • Who: CalTech – Large Hadron Collider team

• What: Distribute 200+ TB data beyond 13 Tier 1 sites to 160 Tier 2 research sites and 300 Tier 3 sites

• How: Controller based on ODL leveraging OpenFlow to setup up flow rules for data distribution. First based on Hydrogen, then Helium, soon to be on Lithium

• Quote: “ODL has become the De-Facto Standard Controller”

How the City of Bristol is Leveraging OpenDaylight

Who: Bristol, England is building a fully programmable, citywide network using ODL

What: Developing an open programmable city region

How: An OpenDaylight-based SDN controller will integrate traffic across Bristol’s fiber optic network, LTE and experimental 5G wireless networks, and a mesh network of 1,500 connected lamp posts. NEC will provide equipment and support for the network’s radio elements
