SDN distributed routing and VPN
sdnvpn
Many telecom network functions are relying on layer-3 infrastructure services, within a VNF between components, or towards existing external networks. In many cases, these external networks are implemented in MPLS/BGP technology in existing service provider wide-area-networks (WAN). This proven technology provides a good mechanism for inter-operation of a NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) and WAN.
This has lead to a number of activities both in OpenDaylight andOpenStack targeting to implement such functionality, including:
The proposed architecture in the VPN Service proposal both links NFVI networking services seamlessly into the WAN network architecture and provides a solution for distributed routing functionality in the virtual Switches using standard ODL southbound interfaces.
To assure integration into the NFVI, a collaborative project is needed, linking the work done in ODL and OpenStack on this item and assuring the integration of these functions into the OPNFV reference platform. A key objective is to validate the solution and to create visibility for that OPNFV has a viable solution.
Scope of the project is to address integration and deployment of VIM and Virtual networking components to provide Layer 3 VPN services in the OPNFV platform. The project will be done in collaboration with the related bgpvpn project in OpenStack and supported implementations in SDN controllers to make sure that the functionality can be integrated on the OPNFV reference platform for the Brahmaputra release and onwards.
Included in the scope are:
All defined use cases will be identified and test cases to validate the functionality will be implemented in this project. This will include in the Brahmaputra timeframe platform functional testing in functest, deployment and scenario testing in YardStick.
Use cases and user guide documentation will be provided. (per SDN solution as needed) Deployment and installation documentation will be provided. (per deployment tool as needed)
