OpenDaylight Summit 2016

NFV and virtualized high performance applications, such as video processing, require a “fast data stack” solution that provides both carrier grade forwarding performance, scalability and open extensibility, along with functionality for realizing application policies and controlling a complex network topology. This session showcases how a new solution stack (a.k.a. “scenario") which combines OpenDaylight and OpenStack is composed and stood up. We'll use a new solution stack framed around a new software forwarder ("VPP") provided by the FD.io project as example for this session. The session discusses how an evolution/change of upstream components from OpenStack, OpenDaylight and FD.io is put in place for the scenario, as well as how installers and tests need to be evolved to allow for integration into OPNFV's continuous integration, deployment and test pipeline. Special focus will be given to those components in OpenDaylight which had to be enhanced for the integration, in particular Group Based Policy.
