Openstack and OpenDaylight are open source projects with great developers / users worldwide. We have observed that some of the OpenDaylight users are not aware how to use it with Openstack. Similarly there are Openstack users who are interested in OpenDaylight, but are not aware how to make them work together to achieve connectivity in their cloud for tenant workloads.
So in this workshop, we would like to do a hands-on for all attendees which will enable them to start using OpenDaylight with Openstack. We will also help attendees get a feel of how OpenDaylight works with Openstack Neutron Service to provide L2 and L3 connectivity between Virtual Machines brought up in a cloud.
IPv6 functionality is getting added to opendaylight in Boron release cycle. This activity includes supporting various IPv6 addressing schemes for openstack tenant networks, security groups support, enabling basic L2 and L3 forwarding in IPv6 tenant networks. In this technical talk, we’ll cover the opendaylight IPv6 solution architecture, integration of this functionality with other opendaylight components like netvirt, vpn service, openflow plugin…etc, message flows for different IPv6 use cases and conclude with progress made so far.

L3 Forwarding is fundamental for tenants in a cloud, as it enables tenants to provide connectivity for workloads across multiple networks. Such networks for which connectivity is enabled can be tenant networks or can be shared external networks managed by the cloud admin. In this session, we will present the L3 Forwarding functionality in Netvirt of Boron release of OpenDaylight. We will be using the Openstack workflow with Neutron Routers and relate how such routers with subnets (and ports on them) enable L3 connectivity when OpenDaylight is the Neutron backend.
We will also present how external network access use-cases are realized in OpenDaylight. Using the Openstack workflow with external networks (and router gateways), we will show how gateways are realized by NAT Service inside OpenDaylight NetVirt, thereby providing cloud to external network connectivity.
Call home or reverse SSH is a technique where the SSH server initiates a request that the SSH client establish a SSH connection to the server. The IETF draft for NETCONF Call Home using SSH (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-reverse-ssh-06) describes this technique to use with NETCONF. This feature is useful in controllers where devices behind a firewall/NAT can initiate a request to controller to initiate a SSH connection for NETCONF communication. At present, OpenDaylight Beryllium doesn’t support the implementation as described in this draft. This presentation discusses on realizing the IETF draft as a OpenDaylight feature and its application in a real-world use-case with a demo.

Software Defined WAN(SDWAN) allows an enterprise to apply efficient orchestration policies depending upon
classes of network traffic onto different kinds of underlying transport. This abstract view will provide an opportunity to perform network segmentation and apply policies based on business requirements.
SDWAN will enable efficient management of network resources, bring down the costs and also provide network
isolation across the enterprise. In this presentation, Purnendu will present the current trends around SDWAN and how OpenDaylight as a controller can be used to develop a low-cost proof of concept showcasing SDWAN benefits.
Service chaining is a broad term that describes a new paradigm for service deployment and is predicated on several key concepts including topological independence for services and elastic scaling of service elements. Service Function Chaining provides the ability to define an ordered list of a network services (e.g. firewalls, NAT, QoS). These services are then "stitched" together in the network to create a service chain. These factors provide motivation for a simplified and flexible service insertion model that addresses many of the current shortcomings and provides new, much needed functionality to enable service deployments in modern network environments. In this presentation we propose to cover the design philosophy of Service Function Chaining and its usage in OpenDaylight architecture.

Honeycomb infrastructure in ODL, will help to scale up the ODL. This proposal will analyze and design the integration of openVswitch(OVS) in a Honeycomb infrastructure and the different module interactions involved. In the current ODL design, the whole control logic resides in the Net-virt layer. Whenever the flow miss scenario happens in a compute node, the packets will be sent to ODL and it programs the manipulated rules in OVS.
The proposal will offload the dynamic learning logic like ARP (IPV4) and neighbor solicitation (IPV6) to the honeycomb agent. The locally intelligent nodes will dynamically program the flows without the help of ODL controller.
A use case analysis of porting the honeycomb agent infrastructure to a Linux based switch (which runs HWVTEP) will also be presented.
SDN Based solutions are reaching stage of wider adoption in production environments. With such deployments, performance and high availability become implicit non-functional requirement.
This tutorial is geared towards helping developers write a sample cluster-aware application in the current framework using the ODL infrastructural components – controller, mdsal, yangtools and using openflowplugin as the southbound to provision flows/groups to the switch, while adhering to the best-practices.
The tutorial will give a detailed insight of:
*config/OperDS,
*ClusteredDataTreeChangeListeners,
*cluster-singleton , and
*blueprint usage.
The details of how clustering works in the current design and how applications can best make use of them will also be discussed.The tutorial will also cover how applications can be designed for handling restart and fault scenarios.

TSDR collects the statistics data from the OVS as a time series data in a persistent data store. With the introduction of the Honeycomb application, the data statistics involved in the Vector Packet Processing (VPP) are not collected by the ODL applications. This proposal aims to collect the data statistics from the VPP instances using the Honeycomb ODL app and store the same as the time series data using the TSDR app. The VPP provides various data stats during its high performance packet processing. These stats are collected by the Honeycomb ODL application via the Honeycomb agents that run along with the VPP instances.
This proposal will enable the TSDR to be compatible with the Honeycomb data stats and will also enable available existing ODL northbound applications to capture the performance, health and the operational configurations of the Honeycomb virtual bridge domains(VBD).
The presentation walks through the OVSDB security architecture and design. It will describe how the openstack security groups are integrated with the OVSDB security model.

The vision for ODL is to have a controller manage hundreds if not thousands of switches. This is the kind of scale where many new problems emerge and simple events like port flaps, rendering a pre-computed path to fail, can cause a huge number of flow reconfiurations. The controller has to deal with all these messages and take corrective measures where necessary. Many a times before the correction is applied, the older path comes back up as well and now flows need to be reprogrammed on the hundreds/thousands of switches. What can help here is a mechanism which we can use to dampen some of this toggle events and in turn give the controller some breathing room and do its job in a more effective manner.

OpenDaylight applications can have various priority levels; the proposal is to have an Application Scheduler for the OpenDaylight Controller which will schedule the applications based on the importance/priority levels of the applications.On a High level, the design for such scheduler will be based on the priority of the flows of interest to the application.A parameter called application-id will be attached to the various flows/groups of the particular Application, this Application ID will be configurable by the operator. The FRM will have an Application Scheduler which will store the rules of various applications based on this Application ID. Higher Application ID implies higher priority. The scheduler will schedule the flows/groups with higher applicationID first.The Idea of having an Application Scheduler here is to make the higher priority Application work with utmost importance.
