---------------------------------------
Summary: BigSwitch network plugin
Key: CLOUDSTACK-733
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-733
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Network Controller
Reporter: Kanzhe Jiang
Fix For: 4.1.0
BVS is one of the SDN applications available for the BigSwitch network
controller. BVS application provides network virtualization, manages isolated
and virtual networks on top of the underlying physical and virtual switch
infrastructure. These virtual networks correspond directly to the groups of
VMs, servers, and other devices that need their own secure connectivity. The
virtual networks are programmed into the physical and/or virtual switches
without having to separately configure individual network devices.
The proposed CloudStack networking plugin will bring the OpenFlow-based
standard network virtualization technology to CloudStack.
There won't be any change to the existing CloudStack workflow. In a typical
deployment, all OpenFlow-enabled physical and virtual switches and other
network resources are configured to be managed by the BigSwitch controller(s).
When a guest network is created, the plugin will create a corresponding virtual
network in the BVS When a guest VM is launched, the VM is automatically
assigned to its configured guest network(s). The BVS application will provide
network isolation and connectivities among VMs.
