Cloud-native SDN Controller Based on Micro-Services for Transport Networks
- 1. Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC)
Description
Current SDN controllers are monolithic applications that are run on dedicated servers and require specific protocols for synchronization among them. These SDN controllers do not provide the required flexibility to scale-out in case of a cloud-scale number of connectivity service requests. In this demonstration, We present the control of transport networks based on ONF Transport API using a cloud-native SDN controller based on micro-services. This demo provides insights on novel software implementations of transport network control technologies, such as container-based control architectures and standard interfaces. The proposed SDN controller components synchronize among them using gRPC protocol and a defined protocol buffer.
