General goal:
The ultimate high level goal of this brigade should be creating a concrete stack of software that can be deployed in networks, around the world. The stack should provide Layer 1-3 functionalities, convergence of packet-optical resources, compatibility with the MEF standards for the allocation and the management of Layer2 VPNs, compatibility with the NSI framework - commonly used by RENs for multi-domain resource provisioning.
Many other groups will focus their attention on future architectures, pure development tasks and PoCs - which are absolutely needed. Here we want to deploy what we do, now or very soon :)
Scope:
- Short-term focus in 2016:
- Let ONOS run concurrently applications to provision L2 circuits (VPLS) and L3 services through BGP (SDN-IP) (Work already in progress - looking for help)
- Refactor the ProxyARP application to avoid code duplication while enabling different applications to plugin their ProxyARP logic easily (Work already in progress lead by Jonathan Hart (jono@onlab.us) - looking for help)
- Possibly integrate the features of Castor (developed by AARNET) and SDX-L2 (developed by GEANT) into VPLS
- Possibly integrate the features of Castor and SDX-L3 (developed by GEANT) into SDN-IP
- Related deployment activities at the RENs + integration with specific vendors
- Deployment activities
- Demo results at ONOS Build 2016
- Long-term focus in 2017:
- Integrate - at least for demo/field trial purposes - the recently developed BoD app (for NSI integration)
- Integrate packet-optical to manage optical resources (already developed at ON.Lab) with VPLS and SDN-IP
- Use MEF standards into VPLS
- Integrate E-CORD and VPLS, so that VPLS can dynamically connect multiple
- More deployment activities
Meeting at ON.Lab in September
We all know that work together in the same room, and why not - have a beer and socialize :) - helps a lot! We'd like to start this initiative inviting all the participants at ON.Lab in September, to work together for a week.
The brigade will meet at ON.Lab from Monday, Sept 18th 2016 to Friday Sept 23rd 2016.
During this week we plan to:
- Teach you how the Intent framework, ProxyARP, VPLS and SDN-IP work (depending on your interest)
- Learn from you what your applications do and how they do it
- Collect requirements: understand how the new software stack will look like and what are the tasks needed (basically populate our backlog)
- Do pair-programming
- Put you directly in contact with ONOS core developers
- Divide us in group and take the ownership of different tasks
- Meet one each other and socialize
How to get involved:
Deployments are transverse to the entire ONOS platform. The area of code to touch is quite vast and problems to tackle are many. The deployment brigade is always looking for new members willing to contribute! Beginner or expert, network guy or developer..it doesn't matter. We'll find a right spot for you in the brigade!
