- OpenDaylight and Tungsten Fabric can be used as 3rd party SDN solutions.
As described in the OPNFV Documentation, OpenDaylight uses the standard ML-2 plugin whereas Tungsten Fabric is integrated by means of Tungsten Fabric plugin for OpenStack which implements Neutron API.(Proposed by Hiroshi Dempo) - Open Switch (OPX) can be used to configure the physical (underlay) network that connects the physical hosts used to deploy OpenStack (
Mike Lazaris this correct? can OPX being instructed by ONAP? Should it?) Leaf and spine topology as a physical infrastructure is recommended in the requirements of physical infrastructure . (Hiroshi Dempo ) - FD.io provides data plane network acceleration through its Vector Packet Processor Processor (VPP). (
it would be great to have ONAP instructing FD.io.Or perhaps ODL can do it? Abhijit Kumbhare)
VNFs are prepared for deployment and inclusion in network services:
- An NFV vendor pre-validates and certifies a couple of VNFs (i.e., VNF1 and VNF2) through the OPNFV Verification Program (OVP). (Bin Hudo you think we should/could expand?)@Rabi - Please add more details
- The NFV vendor ensures that the VNF complies with the ONAP VNF requirements. This will enable ONAP to properly control the lifecycle of the VNF as part of a network service.
