SDN will simplify network operation. Our demo this week at TNC combines automated provisioning with network slicing. All the details are in this flyer.

1. SDN-Enabled Colorless
Directionless ROADM Network
Description
ADVA Optical Networking demonstrates together with
HEAnet, i2CAT and Eurotek a 4K video service
orchestration over an SDN-enabled colorless direction-
less ROADM network using OpenNaaS as Orchestration
Platform, OpenDaylight as open source client SDN
controller, and an multi-tenant capable Optical Network
Hypervisor (ONH) to abstract and virtualize the optical
infrastructure.
Live Demonstration – daily from 12:30 to 14:00
Content of the Demonstration
• End-to-end orchestration of 4K video services
and optical network connectivity services from
data centers across the WAN to enterprises
• Optical network virtualization with multi-tenant
capabilities
• Full integration with commercial network
management and control plane solution
• Open, API-driven solution supporting OpenFlow
SDN controller as clients
• Application-driven enterprise to data center
service orchestration and optical connectivity
calendaring
• Software components: Optical Network
Hypervisor, OpenDaylight, OpenNaaS
• Hardware components: 3 node colorless,
directionless ROADM ring
• Participating companies: HEAnet, i2CAT, Eurotek,
ADVA Optical Networking

FP7 EU-Japan project STRAUSS (GA 608528, 2014~2016) and by
the European Regional Development Fund under the Innovative Economy
Operational Programme.
Background Information
ADVA Optical Network Hypervisor is a multi-tenant
capable application that creates and exposes abstract
representations of the underlying transport network
and exports that abstracted network to client SDN
controllers. An abstracted network can be exposed as
a single node or multiple nodes with abstract links.
From the perspective of the exposed SDN interface the
Network Hypervisor acts as one or more (virtual) nodes.
The OpenDaylight Project is a collaborative open source
project hosted by The Linux Foundation. The goal of the
project is to accelerate the adoption of software-defined
networking (SDN) and create a solid foundation for
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV).
OpenDaylight is an open source project with a modular,
pluggable, and flexible SDN controller platform at its
core. This controller is implemented strictly in software
and is contained within its own Java Virtual Machine
(JVM). As such, it can be deployed on any hardware and
operating system platform that supports Java.
OpenNaaS is an open source platform for provisioning
network resources. It allows the deployment and
automated configuration of dynamic network infra-
structures and defines a vendor-independent interface
to access services provided by these resources.
OpenNaaS provides support for a variety of resources
such as optical switches, routers, IP networks and BoD-
domains, but, more importantly, it is easy to add new
resources and their capabilities as an extension.
