VPLS on Software Defined Network Using ONOS Controller Based on Raspberry-Pi 3

Abstract

In this paper, Software Defined Network (SDN) technology is applied using the Open Network Operating System (ONOS), which can separate the control plane and the data plane on a network device. ONOS is installed on Raspberry-Pi 3 to minimize the use of Personal Computer (PC) devices on SDN networks. ONOS is also implemented to support Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) features that create the Layer-2 network by using the OpenFlow protocol. Software is connected to the host network by connecting to network overlays that are connected to the OpenFlow data plane protocol. VPLS can maximize the existing bandwidth when communication occurs between remote network devices on a local network. We tested voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) with a variety of background traffic. The test results show that the network performance meets the good level according to the THIPON standard.
