Zongbiao,

I think the answer to your question is it depends on the carrier network.

The SDNC in ONAP is the same platform as the SDN global controller in the AT&T 
network. The Generic VNF DG??s and northbound API in ONAP is the basis for our 
generic VNF resource management in SDNG.

We have other east/west adaptors that we did not open source since they are 
proprietary (like EIPAM for address assignments). We also have some 
non-standard southbound adaptors/plugins like an ssh adaptor for cli 
configuration of routers (VNF and PNF) and some wrappers on standard ODL 
southbound adaptors that weren??t pertinent in the VNF space (PCEP, BGP-LS for 
core MPLS-TE).

All the standard ODL southbound feature bundles are available and can be 
installed in a SDNC simply by following the feature:install process for the 
feature bundle in the ODL documentation. Netconf, BGPCEP, SFC, OVSDB, Openflow 
are the examples. All of these would be available on the standard ODL 
northbound. DG nodes to call these functions from a directed graph is not 
available out of the box (except by restapicall node) and for some of those 
adapters we have DG nodes that we have not opensourced yet (netconf, bgpcep we 
use today). Some of these nodes we should have opensourced like 
netconf/netconf-lite since they will be needed for multiple use cases.

We tend to operate separate SDNC instances by major use case (MPSL TE separated 
from access VNF config and separated by BGP Flowspec to a Route 
Reflector/vRoute Reflector).

A carrier could also operate multiple SDNC??s for regional ??sharding?? of the 
work (federated SDNCs) with the service orchestrator calling the appropriate 
SDNC based on a homing algorthim. SDNC??s can also call each other via the 
restapicall node (see the tutorial on the wiki for SDNC calling APPC as a 
simplistic example of that).

A carrier could also have a central SDNC that talks to all the devices via the 
above southbound adaptors but I would be concerned about the load ?C 
particularly the BGP listener based use cases since the load from the network 
can be rather high during BGP re-convergence for a large network.

This might be a great conversation to have during a break on Tuesday of the 
F2F. A lot depends on the use case and size of the carrier.

Does that help ?

Brian

Subject: [onap-tsc] Questions for SDN-C


Hello SDN-C/ECOMP



May I ask questions about SDN-C

1) will SDN-C be only global sdn controller which AT&T presented before, if 
that is true, how many driver do you have to connect how many kind of sdn 
controllers?

2) or does SDN-C intend to directly control all kinds of network devices on the 
all carrier network?



thanks a lot for your explain

Best regards,



Zongbiao
