Hello Friends, today, let's review different SDN controllers available in the industry and a high-level view of their design. I have tried my best to interpret the features published in the public domain and in case your interpretation is different please feel free to leave a comment and I will revise the post.
Let's get started.....
As summarized in my previous post many service providers are transforming their Infrastructure to multi-vendor solutions. This migration enables the need to thoroughly validate hardware interoperation and a new requirement to build multi-vendor and multi-domain control and management plane software.
RFC8453 provides a framework for Abstraction and Control of TE Networks (ACTN) to support virtual network services and connectivity services
Generalized Multi-vendor, Multi-domain architecture
There are many controller solutions available in the market and this week my attempt is to provide a brief overview of controller solutions from Fujitsu, Infinera, and Sedona.
Next week I will post details for NetFlex LightRiver, Cisco, and Juniper solutions.
Again my attempt is to summarize and provide a starting point and you can make use of the reference link provided to explore further.
I will be thankful if you can share(as comments) anything interesting you find during your research to augment my learning.
