Project Name:

  • Proposed name for the project:  SDN Controller (SDN-C)
  • Proposed name for the repository: SDNC

Project description:

The SDN-C project provides a global network controller, built on the Common Controller Framework, which manages, assigns and provisions network resources.   As a "global" controller, the SDN-C project is intended to run as one logical instance per enterprise, with potentially multiple geographically diverse virtual machines / docker containers in clusters to provide high availability.  The project also will support the ability to invoke other local SDN controllers, including third party SDN controllers.

Scope:

  • The following features are in scope for the SDN-C project for ONAP release 1:
    • Enhancements to support the ONAP release 1 use cases (vCPE, VoLTE)
      • Yang models, 
      • Directed graphs
      • New Adapters needed to support use cases (details to be determined during planning phase)
    • Support for third party controllers:
      • Adapter to allow DG to connect to netconf devices (netconf-lite)
    • High availability (local)
  • The following features will be defined for the project:
    • Configuration versioning : ability to roll back the configuration
    • CLI adaptor : abstraction later for CLI adaptor
    • Support for third party controllers:
      • Adapter layer to interface with downstream controllers
    • Support for geographically distributed network resources
    • QoS support

Architecture Alignment:

    • How does this project fit into the rest of the ONAP Architecture?
      • This project provides the global network controller used by ONAP to manage network resources
    • How does this align with external standards/specifications?
      • NETCONF, YANG
    • Are there dependencies with other open source projects?
      • OpenDaylight
      • ONAP Common Controller Framework
      • Service Orchestrator (main client calling SDN-C)
      • Microservice Bus (if that is used for the SO - SDNC interface)

    • Primary Contact Person: Dan Timoney (AT&T), Parviz Yegani (Futurewei Technologies)
