OPNFV Summit 2015

Open Network Operating System (ONOS) is an open source SDN network operating system built by a community of service providers, vendors, network operators, and other collaborators. The goal of the project is to provide a network control plane that delivers high performance operation and resiliency in the face of data plane and control plane failures. ONOS also delivers software-speed feature agility, helps provide a migration path from legacy to white box devices, and helps reduce network operational expense. This talk will introduce the ONOSFW project in three parts -- describe the overall system architecture and the ONOS approach to network virtualization and tenancy; provide an update on the southbound protocols and drivers available in ONOS; and, discuss the integration with OpenStack and northbound abstractions that can be made directly available to tenants and VNF managers.
