Panel - Telco Features: What's Available, What's Needed? - moderated by Uri Elzur, Intel

One of the fast moving technologies where many have interested in using SDN controller or even directly manipulating it, is the Telco NFV. We would like to explore the needs, the exiting features and projects in support of Telco as well as explore some ideas for new projects or adding features to existing projects to improve the appeal ODL has for Telco. Features to explore include Service Function Chaining, Federation, packet/optical, e2e orchestration, underlay configuration and management.

Network Slicing for 5G Networks by Leveraging SDN - Balaji Ethirajulu, Ericsson

A digital transformation brought about through the power of connectivity is taking place in almost every industry. One telecom network will deliver services to multiple industries. With programmable and service aware networks it becomes feasible to tie network capabilities to the needs of different applications that will enable operators to provide networks as-a-service basis: the network slice.

In this Presentation, Balaji Ethirajulu will discuss how SDN/ODL controllers & NFV enable networks to be broken out from their underlying physical infrastructures so that they can, programmatically, provide connectivity as a service. He will explain how to leverage the ODL/SDN capabilities to deliver 5G services to many vertical industries. The level of network programmability provided by ODL controller allows several network slices, customized and optimized for different service deployments.

Service Function Chaining: From Specifications to Implementations to Integration - Brady Johnson & Joel Halpern, Ericsson

Introducing new technologies in today's tumultuous tech industry is not an easy proposition. There are those who write a specification (IETF, ETSI, etc) with the hopes that it will be accepted and somebody will adopt and implement it, but they end up in being just another spec. Then, there are those who create an OpenSource project with very clear preliminary intentions, but without a backing specification, they can quickly lose direction as the contributing members diversify. A very powerful, innovative model to introduce new technologies is to simultaneously create a specification and supporting OpenSource implementation. As the specification matures, the OpenSource implementation can evolve, allowing those interested to try the new technology in their labs and see the real benefits of what is being proposed and to see what parts of the specification wont work or need to be improved.

F5 & Intel Demonstrating ODL Enabled NSH-Based Service Function Chaining in Gi-LAN - Tarek Radi & Kevin Smith, Intel & Randall Cleveland, F5 Networks

This session describes the work done by F5 Networks and Intel Corporation to virtualize and service chain common Gi-LAN network functions using NSH technology (Network Service Header) in combination with ODL (OpenDaylight) and other open source technologies. The session demonstrates the instantiation and traffic flows across multiple service paths interworking with several VNFs (Virtual Network Functions). ODL is used to provision the service paths within the Service Function Classifier, as well as several OVS (Open vSwitch) service function forwarders. This session should be informative to those who are looking to implement service chains across NFV (Network Function Virtualization) and SDN (Software Defined Networking) technologies.

A Generalization of the OpenStack Networking Model for an Implementation of an L2-VPN MEF Compliant SD VPN Service - Ariel Noy & David Goldberg, HPE

A strong analogy between the network models of Neutron and SD-VPN is presented.

Using this analogy, a MEF compliant SD-VPN service was implemented while leveraging the generic network virtualization infrastructure of NetVirt in ODL.

The resulting VPN service offers L2 and L3 connectivity between geographically remote locations each based on a local OpenFlow switch.

A mapping service is used in order to allow information exchange between these locations for the purpose of MAC address, IP address and route distribution.

The sites are interconnected by an overlay network carried on top of an arbitrary IP network.

The presented solution allows for a MEF compliant SD-VPN service without dependency on technologies such as MPLS, strongly simplifying this process.

AT&T & OpenDaylight - A Platform for Programmable Service Logic - Brian Freeman, AT&T

A key component of the AT&T Domain 2.0 Architecture is the SDN Controller. Extending beyond packet forwarding, the SDN Controller is the brain that instantiates the networking service logic. AT&T has developed a service logic interpreter as an application on top of Opendaylight to meet the needs for flexible service definition and re-configuration. Using a domain specific language based on Directed Graphs , AT&T has implemented a model driven application on top of the ODL platform that allows us to implement the AT&T controller vision and to enable service designers to create complex solutions within the ECOMP framework. The talk will cover a brief overview of the service logic interpreter language, the graphical development environment for the service logic and examples of AT&T service provider use cases on Opendaylight.

SFC & Netvirt Application Coexistence in NFV - Brady Johnson, Ericsson & Andre Fredette, Red Hat

Typically ODL applications that render to southbound OpenFlow capable switches assume they have complete ownership of all OpenFlow tables on the switch being programmed. The assumption is that if it's necessary for another application hosted by the same ODL controller to program flows, then that application do so on another switch, and packets will be passed back-and-forth between the switches. An example of this is the GBP+SFC integration proof of concept implemented in the ODL Lithium release. GBP controlled the endpoint groups in its own set of switches, while SFC controlled the service chaining in its own, separate set of switches. This worked ok until we wanted to integrate SFC and GBP into OPNFV. The OpenFlow switches are now controlled by OpenStack, and there will be 1 switch per compute node, meaning multiple ODL applications now need to share the same OpenFlow switch.

OpenDaylight Enabled Management and Orchestration Layer for Multi-Service SDN - Cengiz Alaettinoglu, Packet Design

Today's networks carry many different services and applications. For example, service provider customers with time-sensitive financial trading applications need short-delay paths that may need to be segregated from other customers. Residential customers consuming over-the-top (OTT) services like Netflix and YouTube have video quality requirements that if not met may lead to dissatisfaction and churn. To accommodate different service types like these, as well as variable demands and failure conditions, the ability to provision software-defined network resources dynamically enables operators to minimize over-provisioning of network resources and better control capex outlays. This presentation will explore the critical elements for SDN management and orchestration in multi-service networks, plus new protocols and OpenDaylight developments that enable end-to-end service overlays in the WAN.

Transport SDN & OpenDaylight Use Cases in Korea - Justin Sae Hyong Park, ETRI

In Korea, wired telecommunications carriers have been using assorted transport technologies with diverse network appliances. In order to reduce CAPEX and to avoid vendor lock-in, these transport networks are often comprised of multi-vendor and multi-domain equipment, which leads to high complexity and incompatibility. To overcome this obstacle, research organizations and local telecommunications carriers have been investigating and analyzing the feasibility of transport SDN technology. This talk dishes on the latest trend in Korea telecommunications carriers and the status of their transport SDN technology.

OpenDaylight within Reference Implementation for Next Generation Network Services - Charles Eckel, Cisco & Pascal Menezes, MEF

Open source and open standards are coming together to maximize the pace and relevance of both. The MEF, with its 125+ service provider member community, is defining Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) with APIs enabling dynamic network services for the digital economy and hyper-connected world, providing an on-demand, cloud-connected, secure, and assured experience. The MEF provides a practical evolution toward interconnected, orchestrated, and automated networks powered by LSO, SDN, and NFV. This talk briefly describes the Third Network vision, the LSO architecture, and how it dynamically delivers high value Carrier Ethernet (CE 2.0) services enhanced with L4-L7 VNF-based services.
