Abstract

Its obviously that OpenStack provides the biggest Cloud Computing platform. However the virtualization network service of Neutron, one module of OpenStack for network management, it can only realize simple management of networking, and Neutron which is based on SDN spirit also has defects in complexity of operation, more or less the uncontrollability of Neutron flows. The SDN paradigm is a perfect choice for vendors to deeply and quickly solve the difficulties of networking management. OpenDaylight is the largest open source SDN controller, with centralized control of network which brings great benefit for user's experience. In this paper, at first we define the requirement format for users and automatically deploy the basic network and services, and we conclude the universal framework and procedure of combining Neutron and OpenDaylight, and then we introduce our effort that applying plugins to create network by combining Neutron and OpenDaylight, what's more we solve the problem that controllability of Neutron flow and isolation of network with OpenDaylight. Finally, with the urgent requirement of small enterprise or campus, we realize the automatic deployment of services which deeply reduce the time of deployment and configuration.

结合Neutron和OpenDaylight实现网络管理

很明显，OpenStack提供了最大的云计算平台。而OpenStack的一个网络管理模块Neutron的虚拟化网络服务，只能实现对网络的简单管理，基于SDN精神的Neutron在操作复杂性上也存在缺陷，或多或少存在Neutron流量的不可控性。SDN范式是厂商深入、快速解决网络管理难题的理想选择。OpenDaylight是最大的开源SDN控制器，对网络进行集中控制，为用户体验带来极大的好处。本文首先为用户定义需求格式并自动部署基础网络和服务，总结了Neutron与OpenDaylight结合的通用框架和流程，然后介绍了我们利用Neutron与OpenDaylight结合使用插件创建网络的工作，并利用OpenDaylight解决了Neutron流的可控制性和网络的隔离性问题。最后，结合小型企业或校园的迫切需求，实现了服务的自动部署，大大减少了部署和配置的时间。
