Technology agents Sample Clauses

Technology agents. The communication between the SDN control plane and the optical devices in the data centre fabric is enabled by the technology agents, which act as bridging entities deployed on top of each data plane device to hide their specific technology and management/control interface details. In brief, a technology agent operates on top of each optical data plane device (with a 1:1 relationship) and takes the responsibility to translate the control messages coming from the SDN controller into the actual configuration commands for the given device. Moreover, it maintains a node-wide uniform resource description model for each device and provides capabilities and availabilities up to the controller through the proper control messages. In COSIGN, the control protocol used at the SDN southbound interface will be OpenFlow. OpenFlow is considered the first SDN standard and defines the open communications protocol that enables a controller to interact with the forwarding layers in the SDN architecture. OpenFlow allows direct access to and manipulation of the forwarding plane of network devices such as switches and routers, either physical or virtual (hypervisor-based, like Open vSwitch). Therefore, to have SDN and OpenFlow enabled data plane optical devices, an OpenFlow agent for each device is required. In COSIGN, these OpenFlow agents will provide the following control functions: • Technology Specific Mapping and Translation: this part enables the communication between the OpenFlow agent and data plane devices. Different protocols and technologies (NE’s management interface like SNMP, TL1, Vendor API, etc.) may be used to implement this interface, according to the given interface exposed by each optical device • Uniform Resource Model: this resource model exposes a technology independent abstraction of the different optical technologies with the aim of simplifying the controller functions by hiding the hardware differences • Extended OpenFlow API: The API is responsible for establishing and maintaining the communication tunnel between COSIGN SDN controller and the OpenFlow agent. Specific OpenFlow protocol extensions will be defined at the southbound interface to support the heterogeneous optical technologies developed in COSIGN.
