MidoNet for OPNFV
midonet
MidoNet is an open source, pure-software, SDN for OpenStack and other platforms. It is one of only a few options to provide a full-featured overlay networking suite for cloud platforms. As the goals of OPNFV align closely with the aims and use of MidoNet, this project intends to extend OPNFV to fully support MidoNet as a deployable networking option.
MidoNet’s architecture is designed to be distributed, simple, and as scalable as possible. A user-space agent on each hypervisor encompases functions necessary to enable all the SDN features (L2-L4, routing, switching, LBaaS, NAT, etc.) for virtual machines on that hypervisor. Leveraging standard hypervisor networking technology, most networking is left to the kernel and avoids user-space overhead. MidoNet does not use an extra kernel modules and is capable of working with upstream kernels in most linux distributions out of the box. More information on MidoNet’s architecture can be found on the project website, reference documentation, or in the public Slack channels. MidoNet is open source, licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
