Internet success
• The Internet success is a remarkable story, from a research infrastructure to a global network, interconnecting billions of devices and people
• Innovation looks easy on the Internet as we witness always new and more powerful services and applications– Web, P2P, VoIP, social networks, video streaming…

Network ossification

• The history is a bit different behind the scene:
–Huge complexity –Few people can innovate–Closed equipment–Network «ossification»

SDN Concept
• Separate Control plane and Data plane entities– Network intelligence and state are logically centralized– The underlying network infrastructure is abstracted from the
applications• Execute or run Control plane software on general purpose
hardware– Decouple from specific networking hardware– Use commodity servers
• Have programmable data planes– Maintain, control and program data plane state from a central
entity• An architecture to control not just a networking device
but an entire network

Network OS and OpenFlow
• Network OS– Distributed system that creates a consistent, up-to-date
network view, runs on servers (controllers) in the network– Uses an open protocol to:
• Get state information from forwarding elements• Give control directives to forwarding elements
• OpenFlow– is a protocol for remotely controlling the forwarding table of
a switch or router– is one element of SDN

Forwarding Abstractions
• Purpose: Abstract away forwarding hardware• Flexible
– Behavior specified by control plane– Built from basic set of forwarding primitives
• Minimal– Streamlined for speed and low-power– Control program not vendor-specific
OpenFlow is an example of such an abstraction

SDN promises (or dreams…)
• Innovation– beyond IP, clean slate approaches…
• Change of paradigm«Redefining Abstractions» (see Scott Shenker presentation)
• Openness– open fast switching hardware, open controllers

• Match arbitrary bits in headers:
– Match on any header, or new header– Allows any flow granularity
• Action– Forward to port(s), drop, send to controller– Overwrite header with mask, push or pop– Forward at specific bit-rate

Reactive vs. Proactive (pre-populated)
Reactive
• First packet of flow triggers controller to insert flow entries
• Efficient use of flow table• Every flow incurs small
additional flow setup time• If control connection lost,
switch has limited utility• Extremely simple fault
recovery
Proactive
• Controller pre-populates flow table in switch
• Zero additional flow setup time
• Loss of control connection does not disrupt traffic
• Essentially requires aggregated (wildcard) rules

Microflow vs. Aggregated
Microflow
• Every flow is individually set up by controller
• Exact-match flow entries• Flow table contains one
entry per flow
• Good for fine grain control, policy, and monitoring, e.g. campus
Aggregated
• One flow entry covers large groups of flows
• Wildcard flow entries• Flow table contains one
entry per category of flows
• Good for large number of flows, e.g. backbone

SDN and cloud
• Cloud computing service providers face the issue of multi-tenancy at the network level
• IP and Ethernet each have virtual network capability, but limited in terms of – how many tenants can be supported– how isolated each tenant– configuration and management complexity
• SDN is increasingly accepted as the path to "cloud networking"

The shift toward SDNs
• Allows for the network to be in better alignment with the current data center trends
• Brings a high level of agility to the network

• Enables programmability • Improves application
performance • Abstracts the control layer
from the network infrastructure lay
• Complements fabrics • Creates scalable network

Google’s B4: an SDN success story
• In April 2012 Google presented their OpenFlow based WAN (“B4”), globally interconnecting the Data Centers
• B4 is based on a SDN architecture using OpenFlow to control relatively simple switches built from merchant silicon
• Google engineered the switches and the SDN architecture

Typical WAN engineering rules
• WAN links are typically provisioned to 30-40% average utilization. This can mask virtually all link or router failures from clients.
• Such overprovisioning give reliability at the costs of 2-3x bandwidth over-provisioning and high-end routing gear.

Google’s Requirements
• Google fully controls applications and server using the WAN
• The most bandwidth intensive applications are large-scale data copies: they can adapt to available capacity
• The number of data center is limited, making centralized bandwidth control feasible

Traffic Engineering
• Using SDN, B4 simultaneously supports standard routing protocols and centralized TE
• TE algorithms allow to:– adjudicate among competing demands during
resource constraint– use multipath forwarding/tunneling– dynamically reallocate bandwidth in the face of
link/switch failures• Many B4 links to run at near 100% utilization
and all links to average 70% utilization

…and if you are not Google ?
A truly open SDN eco-system will grow, including controllers/network OS, management tools, switching equipment, and “network applications” (e.g. a TE component)
Vendors will include SDN concepts in their solutions, mostly in a proprietary way

«SDN washing»
• All main networking equipment vendors are now offering their SDN products and solutions
• “SDN washing” – when networking vendors essentially take their existing technologies and try to re-label them as SDN products

OpenDayLight
• Cisco, Juniper, Ericsson, IBM, NEC and other network vendors are joining up to standardize SDN (April 2013) with OpenDayLight project

SDN and NFV(Network Function Virtualization)
• NVF: a Network-operator-driven specification group within ETSI.
• Initiated by 13 carriers now grown to 23 members

The two paths to SDN (r)evolution
59
• New Abstractions / high level modeling of networks• Disruptive low cost net architectures and open hardware• Open Source Software (for Carriers’ Class nodes) • Open Innovation
Evolutionary path : progressive innovation
Revolutionary path : disruptive innovation
• Seamless integration in current networks, compatibility with legacy • Solutions from traditional Vendors (or even Start-ups) … • Costs Reductions (CAPEX, OPEX)
