Introduction

Service Provider Networks are complex and multi-layer in nature. Provisioning and adding bandwidth requires order of days if not months. Today, Provisioning and adding bandwidth requires order of days if not months. Since packet and optical networks are managed independently, each one of them has to be over provisioned to deal with traffic anomalies and failures. This leads to lack of service agility and is a significant source of CAPEX and OPEX overhead for the network operator.

This Tutorial is about how SDN controller such as ONOS can help address the challenges of managing multilayer service provider networks.  They will demonstrate an emulated environment for converged control of packet and optical networks and how it will truly enable service providers to make these networks much more efficient.  They will show how a converged SDN Control plane for packet and optical networks can help address many network in-efficiencies.

This tutorial represents  a sample  demo on how converged packet-optical networks, can be controlled by ONOS.

To get the ONOS-GUI type following terminal:

or

This will open ONOS-GUI in you default browser. You can press 'z' to get the split view of packet and optical plane and press 'h' to see hosts (for more options pess "/").

As you can see that there are no host discovered by ONOS. This is due to the fact that ONOS only discover host when there is traffic from the host. So lets generate taffic from all host

Possible demo scenarios
