abound • OpenFlow is not mature • OpenFlow does not work with current hardware • OpenFlow does not scale Motivation: ONF Point of View SDN/OpenFlow successful • in DataCenters • with So@ware Switches • and Overlay networks
ONF work product in hardware readily available today using the latest stable versions of ONF protocols – eg. OF 1.3.4. 2. Provide feedback to ONF WGs on their work product from an implementa4on of the chosen networking scenario. 3. Promote adop4on by crea4ng a core-‐kernel that is extensible for value-‐add towards deployment, interoperability and differen4a4on.
LDP and RSVP-‐TE 2. Source rou4ng via ‘segments’ – maps to labels in MPLS 3. Introduces globally significant labels – simpler, easier to debug Segment Rou4ng (SR) or SPRING (IETF name) – Source Packet Rou4ng In NetworkinG Think of Segment Rou4ng as a beher MPLS network with no change to the MPLS data plane.
, ECMP, PHP and OpenFlow 1.3 (mul4-‐tables & groups) 2. ARP/ICMP handling, subnet-‐configura4on, pinging router-‐IPs (normal router behavior) 3. Link and Switch failure recovery (taking ECMP into account) 4. Crea4ng an SR tunnel with loose and strict hops 5. Crea4ng policies (priori4zed) and assigning them to SR tunnels.
more than 3 labels, and so we s4tch-‐segments of the tunnel to get around hardware limita4ons) 7. Use of Adjacency Segments • For selec4ng one of many ports (fine-‐grained traffic steering) • For hashing across mul4ple ports (enabling load-‐ balancing across mul4ple non-‐ECMP paths) 8. Consistent loop-‐free updates using des4na4on rooted in-‐trees
QA; will not be ready for produc4on nor interoperate with other networks and network control planes. Will support some elements helpful for produc4za4on (eg. config, troubleshoo4ng/OAM, visibility etc.) 2. Not delivering a specific service like Bandwidth-‐ TE /VPN/NFV. Instead suppor4ng core-‐capabili4es to build such services on top (extensibility op4ons) 3. Not a plugfest – data and control plane choices will be made; however choices should be replaceable by other parts, both commercial and open-‐source as long as they conform to the requirements
