The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. 7 An emerging network architecture What is software-defined networking (SDN)? Abstraction of control plane from forwarding hardware Network control plane as a centralized software program Centralized intelligence of network topology Dynamic and programmable network, interaction with applications Implemented via variety of methods including OpenFlow protocol Key Benefits Provides opportunity for rapid innovation in networking Use cases for all types of networks including Enterprise Campus, Service Provider, Cloud, Data Center Can enable simplified management through network virtualization Applications Infrastructure Network OS Network API SDN Model Control Plane

© Copyright 2012 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. 8 What is OpenFlow? Protocol for direct access to switch forwarding plane Controller or control software uses OpenFlow protocol to provide programmable interface to switches & routers Open standard defined by the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) Firewall IPS Edge Switches Edge Switches Controller Wireless APs Net Apps Core Switch Agg Switches Core Switches

More granular control over traffic. Orchestration in a Virtualized data center Servers and applications move around the data center and network cannot respond dynamically to changing needs Management Software, vSwitch, Manual configuration changes Use OF controller to dynamically configure network in response to changes. Communicate with software and hardware elements

Command-line interfaces CLIs are the interfaces common to switches and routers, which network managers use to configure them, and activate or deactivate services. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol can be used to modify and apply a new configuration through remote modification of configuration information. XMPP Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol is an XML streaming protocol for presence and messaging routing. It also provides a secure but easily programmed language for linking diverse networks. Netconf The lETF's Netconf is designed to reduce the programming effort involved in automating device configuration. Netconf would use XML to configure devices and to more efficiently tap state and configuration data stored on devices. OpenStack OpenStack, the Rackspace/NASA open source software for cloud computing, is free, modular open source software for developing public and private cloud computing fabrics and controllers. Virtualization software APIs APIs in hypervisors and other virtualization software, such as VMware's vSphere, virtualize server, storage and network resources, and aggregate and allocate them on demand to applications. They include tools to define resource pools and business rules for service levels, and to automate the enforcement of service levels to ensure application availability, performance, security and scalability.
