Abstract

The software-defined networking (SDN) paradigm brings unprecedented agility and flexibility to network operators. The usage of centralized software-based controllers simplifies operation and management and enables innovation in the control plane through network programmability. Besides, a controller may be operated via third-party applications using the so-called northbound application programming interfaces (APIs). In this paper, we report our preliminary work on the interaction between the northbound interface of the open-source industry-supported OpenDaylight controller and our Net2Plan tool. Net2Plan is an open-source network planning tool that is able to execute user-made algorithms. By connecting Net2Plan to OpenDaylight, users would be able to easily orchestrate their networks, e.g. defining flow routing, making use of built-in or user-defined algorithms, implemented in the Net2Plan framework. In this paper, we present some illustrative experiments, and discuss future challenges.

利用Net2Plan规划工具在OpenDaylight中进行网络编排

软件定义网络(SDN)模式为网络运营商带来了前所未有的敏捷性和灵活性。集中式软件控制器的使用简化了操作和管理，并通过网络可编程性实现了控制平面的创新。此外，控制器还可以通过第三方应用程序使用所谓的北向应用程序编程接口(api)进行操作。在本文中，我们报告了我们对开源行业支持的OpenDaylight控制器的北向接口与我们的Net2Plan工具之间交互的初步工作。Net2Plan是一个开源的网络规划工具，能够执行用户制作的算法。通过将Net2Plan连接到OpenDaylight，用户将能够轻松地编排他们的网络，例如定义流路由，使用内置或用户定义的算法，在Net2Plan框架中实现。在本文中，我们提出了一些说明性的实验，并讨论了未来的挑战。
