Initial release of Yang to Java translator by Huawei: YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration & state data. YANG is a one way to represent the interface and behavior semantics (of device/controller/component). The YANG modeled interfaces need to be implemented by corresponding application / component. There are 2 parts in implementing the interface: a) the syntax/symantics processing of the request/response being exchanged. b) the business logic to compute the request. This feature abstracts the applications from syntatical processing of information encoding with the external world. It provides a framework in which the applications only need to implement the business logic. It seamlessly supports any interface language like REST, NETCONF etc. YANG Utils which is a basic building block to achieve this goal is developed as a part F release. These UTILS provide following:
1) Abstracting Syntax information from model.
2) Translator tool for auto-generation of JAVA corresponding to a given YANG.
3) Metadata Generation (Input for NBI & SBI Automation)
FNLab/BUPT troubleshooting application
Routing Loop Detection
Routing Blackhole Tracking
POSTECH provided
RRD based MetricsDatabase. This is a round robin database (RRD) stores various metric values. The database stores daily data points, and granularity is up to 1 minute.
Control metrics monitoring service. This service is for monitoring various control metrics that include control message, CPU load, memory usage, disk I/O, etc.
Huawei contributed a BGP Flowspec implementation: BGP Flow specification specifies procedures for the distribution of flow specification rules via BGP and defines the procedure to encode flow specification rules as BGP NLRI which can be used in any application. BGP flow specification feature is required to handle scenarios such as
Packet filtering in order to mitigate (distributed) denial of service attacks.
Network optimization by applying flow rule with various flow types.
A REST interface is implemented to push flow specification rules to networking devices using the BGP ONOS southbound interface. Flow specification rules support multi-value flow types with logical conditions as specified in RFC 5575.
Create-Net and TATA collaboration on ONOS peering improvements
UI introduction video
Augmented TableModel with annotations
Secondary sort capability in tables
Meter table GUI view
Driver Matrix view (drivers vs. behaviours) to help visualize supported device control capabilities.
Topology View:
“Reset Node Locations” command (‘X’ keystroke) added
Topology Overlay selection with F1, F2, F3… keystrokes
Application View:
Confirmation dialog added for application activate/deactivate/uninstall
Application Model enhancements supported
columns added for additional application attributes
details panel displayed when application row selected
applications can now define custom icon and URL for documentation
Dialog Service:
Enter and Escape keys bound to OK and Cancel buttons
POSTECH provided
Extended application properties for supporting customized icon in application view. This feature extends application properties to have URL, category, icon, long description, etc. With this feature, application developers can customize their own application icons.
Augmented table model for supporting annotation. This feature augments table model properties, allow web developer to specify various meta information of table model as a form of annotation.
New REST APIs for GroupTable, MeterTable, FlowObjectives from POSTECH
Intents: Fujitsu provide Resource reservation support for “continuous” resources (bandwidth)
Intents subsystem integrated with Flow Objectives (partial, not all intent types)
dynamic cluster scaling
enhancements making it easier to add new distributed primitives
from Ciena, the device key subsystem, and integration of the device key id into the BasicDeviceConfig
Added ability to dynamically extend the core data model and allow alternate projections of core topology entities, e.g. devices, ports, links, hosts.
Support for more context when looking at state change notifications
From POSTECH: Control message subsystem which provides control message statistics that includes number of control packet, message volume, etc.
Introduced Regions as a basis for controlling affinity of controller nodes to geographical regions and for upcoming topology view enhancements.
Introduced device key subsystem to allow coordinated management of keys (SSL, user/password, community-name) required for securing control interactions with network devices.
Huawei and Cognizant implemented OSPF southbound protocol support. Plug-in collects the topology information of the legacy network. This topology information can be used by other applications like PCE. Major features supported are OSPFv2 specification (RFC 2328), and the OSPF Traffic Engineering (TE) extension (RFC3630)
OSPF SBI is also integrated to the IP Topology (same as BGP-LS).
REST southbound support
Protocol and provider to discover and configure devices that provide REST interaction capability
Support for REST CRUD operations and non-standard PATCH operation
HTTP and HTTPS protocol capabilities, with and without password login
SNMP provider from BTI
Drivers folder has been significantly redesigned
each driver family has his own module and is treated as an ONOS app.
drivers can be dynamically loaded on an as-needed basis. apps="org.onosproject.drivers.netconf" in app.xml
default drivers is now the default folder but the module maintains onos-drivers artifact-id for retro-compatibility
base for future separation from base-drivers and device-family specific drivers.
Driver based fallback providers making deployment much easier
Device provider testing for OPLink (OpenFlow), Ciena (REST), Fujitsu (NETCONF), Lumentum (SNMP)
Multiple inheritance between drivers
OVSDB now supports setting and deleting a port on a specific bridge.
Multicast support for CORD from DirecTV

Abstracted communication with device in separate thread
Capability to listen for device generated messages and events ( like alarms, notifications ).
Added Capability to provision ports for a device via a behavior in the provider.
Improved IPv6 test suite from Criterion Networks
Improved NETCONF test suite from Happiest Minds
