Challenges
Need to establish the Underlay and Overlay Communications between bare metal servers and virtual machines
Inability of the SDN Controller to communicate with L2 Devices due to configuration limitations
Solution
- Design: Hardware VTEP Gateway (on TOR switches) for bare metal and VM workloads to create Intra DC L2 Services
- Build: Development of ODL modules for L2VPN NAT Manager, ARP responder and IPv6 support for overlays (VxLAN, MPLS). DPDK Adaptation and ODL migration to oxygen from boron
- Deploy: SDN overlay integration with VMWare. E-VPN for inter datacenter deployments to support NAT manager. Policy-based routing by using open flow v1.0.Neutron based BGP VPN Orchestration
Outcomes
- 90% Reduction in OPEX by using Open Day Light SDN Controller
- 50% Faster Service integration and Service Provisioning in a DataCentre environment
