• Software abstraction layer on top of networking infrastructure

• Decouple Control Plane and Data Forward Plane

• Standardized programmatic interface

• OpenFlow is an example of programmatic interface

• Allows external “controller” to control how IP packets are forwarded by routers and switches

• Key customer benefits:

• Decouple network application innovation from dependency on new router OS releases

• Accelerate automation of network changes to increase service velocity

• Bandwidth Optimization out of DC

• Realization of Multi Tenancy

What is Software-Defined Networking (SDN)?

What if you could …


Build your next data center

optimized for highest demands

in flexibility, reliability, and

scale

Virtualize your network starting now for greater responsiveness and increased

asset utilization

Create and deliver

customized services and new offerings at the

speed of customer need

Unlock the intelligence from your network for

real-time orchestration and analytics

• Network changes are

difficult, slow, and risky

• Can’t handle rapid swings in

traffic demands

• New services requires

adding expensive specialized

skills

• Unlimited funds needed to

solve issues

Program at Stanford University

• Goal: Provide a radically new platform upon which researchers and

students will be able to innovate

• OpenFlow provides an API that allows researchers to control the

network directly

• New Internet2 service called “Open Science, Scholarship and Services

Exchange (OS3E)” on top of the NDDI infrastructure

Network Development and Deployment Initiative


Internet2 Innovation Platform

• Massive bandwidth through a

100GbE Layer 2 connection

• Address traditional bottleneck

and aggregation points to pass

high-bandwidth traffic and

provide performance

monitoring/verification thru

implementation and support

of a Science DMZ

• Introduce SDN capabilities to

support the development and

deployment of new

applications


Layers of the “Innovation Platform”

• Internet2’s Advanced Layer 2

service:

• Reliable Layer 2 transport

• Flexible, end-to-end, high-

bandwidth, deeply programmable

environment

• Goal: Easily create VLANs with a

range of characteristics,

reachable anywhere throughout

the network


How is SDN being Introduced in NDDI?
