FDS - FastDataStacks
Project description
Project “FastDataStacks” creates and composes a set of scenarios which include the virtual forwarder supplied by the FD.IO project. The project also provides required enhancements to individual components such as SDN controllers or installers to allow for the scenario composition.
Scope
Initially FastDataStacks creates a scenario for L2 networks using OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and OpenVPP. The picture below shows the key components involved in the scenario. The project also includes installation and test procedures of this scenario.
Key work items include:
Create an ODL VPP/Netconf renderer for OpenDaylight GBP (Group based policy) to interface with OpenVPP
Enhancements to ODL Neutron to allow for seamless integration with OpenVPP
Enhancements to OpenStack ODL driver to allow for seamless integration with OpenVPP (e.g. support for vhost-user with non OVS switches, support for more reliable synchronization); Results of the OPNFV
NFVreadyness project are leveraged.
Testing (provide for Functest, Yardstick, etc. tests, consider tests which evaluate specific functionality of the data-path like encapsulation/decapsulation, address translation, etc.)
Integration into installers
Add support for storage endpoints
