ONOS Overview OPNFV Design Summit November 9, 2015 Brian O'Connor Open Networking Lab

What is ONOS? Open Network Operating System (ONOS) is an open source SDN network operating system. Our mission is to enable Service Providers to build real SDN/NFV Solutions. ONOS Framework (ONOSFW) is the OPNFV project focused on ONOS integration. It is targeted for inclusion in the Brahmaputra release.

Quarterly Releases ● Avocet (1.0.0) released in December 2014 ○ Initial release of clean & modular code-base, protocol independence ● Blackbird (1.1.0) released in March 2015 ○ Improved performance, scale-out, increased robustness ● Cardinal (1.2.0) released in June 2015 ○ New use-cases, additional core features, additional SB protocols ● Drake (1.3.0) released in September 2015 ○ Platform enhancements, security features, UI enhancements ● Emu (1.4.0) - currently in progress for December 2015 ○ Dynamic cluster scaling, Virtual Network and CORD features

Architectural Tenets ● High-availability, scalability and performance ○ required to sustain demands of service provider & enterprise networks ● Strong abstractions and simplicity ○ required for development of apps and solutions ● Protocol and device behaviour independence ○ avoid contouring and deformation due to protocol specifics ● Separation of concerns and modularity ○ allow tailoring and customization without speciating the code-base

Key Northbound Abstractions ● Network Graph ○ Directed, cyclic graph comprising of infrastructure devices, infrastructure links and end-station hosts ● Flow Objective ○ Device-centric abstraction for programming data-plane flows in table pipeline-independent manner ● Intent ○ Network-centric abstraction for programming data-plane in topology- independent manner

Device Protocol Support Included - OpenFlow - 1.0, 1.3+, driver-based pipeline support via Flow Objectives - OVSDB - NetConf - PCEP - TL1 (available from select vendors) Under development - BGP-LS - SNMP (v2c)

Approaches to Virtualization 1. Overlay (implemented) ● OpenStack/Nicira-style virtualization ● Collection of ports with L2/L3/etc. connectivity ● No topology 2. Hypervisor (in progress) ● OpenVirtex-style virtualization ● Virtual topology elements (devices, ports, links) ● No implied connectivity
