Overview
ONOS (Open Networking Operating System) is purpose-built for service providers. These typically operate large and complex multi-layer networks. ONOS has native support for the most common type of multi-layer network, namely the packet/optical network. It does so by offering an innovative converged topology view, allowing rapid introduction of new services and unprecedented optimization in an environment which has been dominated by a legacy mindset.
Motivation
Service Provider Networks are complex and multi-layer in nature. Each of these layers, including packet and optical, is provisioned and managed independently. Sometimes, the provisioning and adding of capacity or new services requires order of days if not months. A converged SDN control plane for packet and optical networks can help address all of these inefficiencies. Service providers can optimize across packet and optical layers in real-time for availability and economics, thereby reducing over-provisioning. They can add capacity based on traffic and other considerations in minutes instead of days or months.
...
Our goal is to build an open source solution that allows effective multi-layer network programmability using novel abstractions such as intent-based networking and converged topology graphs.
