This is nice! Thanks for the pointers!

 

I have to dig more into these, but one quick question: Is the alternate
path pre-calculate and pre-installed, or is it recalculated installed on
the fly to switches when link fails?

 

Thanks,

Joon

OpenFlow

 

 

One piece of software that detects and recovers from failures is the OESS
software, developed by Indiana University and deployed on Internet2 NDDI.

 

This software uses the NoX LLSP discovery but also the OpenFlow Port
Status Async messages to detect failures. OESS can be configured to switch
to alternate path if a link failure is detected.  Failovers within a
second even with the latencies on a national footprint.

Hi all,

 

I am curious whether there is a good solution for data-plane link failure
detection and recovery in OpenFlow (or any SDN-based solution).

 

I am aware of NOX or Floodlight's LLDP-based topology discovery modules,
which can detect link failures. However, I am looking for an OpenFlow
solution that can not only detect, bus also recover from the failure
(e.g., by rerouting or finding alternate paths) automatically.

 

The closest I can find is PortLand's fault tolerant routing feature,
published in SIGCOMM 2009, which uses a "fabric manager" (an OpenFlow
controller) to do the recovery.

 

Is anyone aware of some other related work or solutions?

 

Thanks,

Joon
