Abstract

Considering the growth of customers craving for complex services like IPTV, cloud storage, and online gaming, traditional networking is quickly becoming an obsolete technology. The new networking paradigm, Software Defined Networking (SDN), in combination with the recent communication protocol, OpenFlow, brings a new perspective to the operator and cloud provider's core networks by providing new autonomous tools. This paper proposes and evaluates a new SDN control mechanism that allows the definition of dedicated connectivity service within an operator network, making it possible to easily provide and support cloud services to the end user. It takes advantage of the combination of SDN and Cloud Computing, and further benefits the automation of both technologies, which empowers the operator to provide faster services to its users, such as virtual machine instantiation with automatic network creation. The evaluation of the proposed approach shows that the most time consuming phase is the installation of the OpenFlow rules in the network: in a network of 128 nodes, it takes around 250msec to both install and remove connections.

OpenFlow和云中的服务:核心网演示

考虑到客户对IPTV、云存储和在线游戏等复杂服务的需求不断增长，传统网络正迅速成为一种过时的技术。软件定义网络(SDN)与最新的通信协议OpenFlow相结合，通过提供新的自主工具，为运营商和云提供商的核心网络带来了新的视角。本文提出并评估了一种新的SDN控制机制，该机制允许在运营商网络中定义专用连接服务，从而可以轻松地向最终用户提供和支持云服务。它利用了SDN和云计算的结合，并进一步受益于这两种技术的自动化，这使运营商能够为用户提供更快的服务，例如自动创建网络的虚拟机实例化。对所提出的方法的评估表明，最耗时的阶段是在网络中安装OpenFlow规则:在128个节点的网络中，安装和删除连接大约需要250msec。
