The SDN Control Plane serves as the core section titled "Key Functions of the SDN Control Plane" in this presentation. It manages network policies while separating the control plane from the data plane to enable greater programmability and flexibility.
02
Manages network policies and separates control from data plane for programmability.
The slide "Core Functions Explained" outlines key aspects of network management through bullet points. It describes how network abstraction simplifies hardware complexities, centralized policy management sets traffic rules, device configuration programs network devices, and monitoring collects statistics for ongoing improvements.
The SDN controller's routing function leverages a global network view to compute optimal paths and installs corresponding flow rules through southbound APIs. It also efficiently manages dynamic routing updates while supporting protocols such as OSPF within the SDN framework.
The ITU-T Y.3300 Layered SDN Model divides the architecture into three planes. The Application Plane delivers network services to end-users, while the Control Plane orchestrates policies and centralized control through SDN controllers for dynamic configuration; the Infrastructure Plane includes switches, routers, and resources that forward data based on those instructions, enabling programmable paths.
| Application Plane & Control Plane | Infrastructure Plane |
|---|---|
| The Application Plane delivers network services and applications, interacting with end-users. The Control Plane provides orchestration, policy management, and centralized control via SDN controllers, enabling dynamic network configuration and optimization in SDN environments. | Comprises network devices such as switches, routers, and physical/virtual resources. Handles data forwarding based on instructions from the Control Plane, forming the foundational layer for SDN's programmable data paths. |

--- Speaker Notes: This slide illustrates the functional layers of the SDN architecture as defined in ITU-T Y.3300, separating concerns for better programmability and management.
OpenDaylight is an open-source software-defined networking (SDN) controller platform featuring a modular architecture built on the Karaf runtime. It supports protocols like OpenFlow and NETCONF, along with plugins for BGP, and is commonly used by enterprises to automate network management.
REST, or Representational State Transfer, is an API style that exposes SDN controller services through HTTP, enabling stateless operations via JSON or XML data exchange. It primarily facilitates northbound interfaces for applications to interact with the network.
Centralized SDN architecture uses a single controller for a global network view, simplifying management and consistent decision-making, but it risks downtime as a single point of failure. Distributed SDN architecture employs multiple controllers to boost scalability and resilience, avoiding single points of failure while enhancing fault tolerance, though it adds complexity in maintaining consistency and coordination.
| Centralized | Distributed |
|---|---|
| A single controller offers a global network view, simplifying management and policy enforcement. It enables consistent decision-making but creates a single point of failure, risking network downtime if the controller fails. | Multiple controllers improve scalability and resilience, distributing load and avoiding single points of failure. This enhances fault tolerance, though ensuring consistency and coordination among controllers introduces added complexity. |
BGP plays a key role in SDN networks by enabling inter-domain routing across diverse networks and supporting dynamic route advertisement and peering. SDN controllers integrate BGP to enforce policies and facilitate programmable external connectivity.
The conclusion slide highlights how the SDN Control Plane revolutionizes networking through its programmability and serves as a key element in modern architectures like OpenDaylight, encouraging further exploration for implementation. It ends with a thank you for the audience's attention.
