• SMB:

• Member:

• Partners:

• Use-case:

– Bandwidth on Demand for Inter-DC applications such as Workload migration

with the use of SDN at optical and switching layers.

• Project Summary:

– Showcase the ability of a network under SDN to control (based on OpenDaylight

(ODL)) elephant flows, based on an application trigger

– Features a scenario that throttles low priority traffic to a minimum bandwidth in

order to accommodate the transfer of a large flow of data between the two data

centres

– This will be demonstrated using live link in the CANARIE network between

Ottawa and Montreal

• SMB:

• Sponsor:

• Support:

• Use-cases:

• A revolutionary method for rapidly deploying and managing an end to end

LTE network.

• vEPC functions at the edge for Public Safety applications

• Project Summary:

– Demonstrate the following use-cases

• Use of Web UI to spin up the environment and the vEPC functions at

CENGN Data Centre, in a matter of seconds

• Small cell/eNB at the show with dedicated UEs to demonstrate WebRTC

call through the vEPC created

• Demonstrate Public Safety use-case by running vEPC functions at the

eNodeB

NFV-based LTE core in CloudConference Compute Space

• SMB:

• Members:

• Support:

• Use-case:

– Showcase a true end-to-end multi-layer SDN orchestration of an

MPLS-based WAN

• Project Summary:

– Network Infrastructure: Juniper MPLS network over Fujitsu Optical

transport

– SDN Controllers: Juniper Northstar and Fujitsu Virtuora

– In the event of an optical link failure, Cenx Cortx Service Orchestrator

inspects the MPLS topology change for any policy violations

– Violation will trigger manual provisioning of new Optical link to effect the

change in the MPLS topology and Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) and

the subsequent re-routing of the MPLS path in accordance to policy

Multi Layer Data Connectivity Orchestration

1. Optical Network Path Failure

2. Optical network failure and packet reroute notifications sent to Cortx

3. Update network topology and SRLG validation. Alert raised for policy violations

4. Optical and Packet network adjustments

5. Update network topology and path validation. Alert cleared/raised for policy

violations

• SMB:

• Member:

• Use-case:

– MPLS VPN network transition from traditional PE/CE to

SDN controlled PE/CE

• Summary:

– MPLS Layer 2 VPN solution with Openflow-based Noviflow

switch PE and CE in one end and a traditional MPLS

PE/CE at the other end

– SDN Openflow controller (Cubro, ONOS, ODL) for

provisioning and control of the Noviflow PE and CE

– End to end solution demonstrated at CENGN
