Joerg Ammon - Brocade Language - English Many of the recent trends in networking, more precisely software defined networking, are centered around OPEN - Openflow, OpenStack, OpenDaylight to name only a few. What is the state of those projects? What is ready to be deployed? Where is the industry moving? How do network operators and end users benefit from those trends? How do open interfaces and joint community effort speed up development of real world networking applications that are truly new and useful for today's infrastructures? Register for the next edition of PLNOG conference today: http://plnog.pl

OpenFlow Feature overview
© 2014 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. Company Proprietary Information 7
• OpenFlow v1.3 is not backward compatible with OpenFlow 1.0
• Greater flexibility with OpenFlow v1.3
• Watch out for the details

8. Example: Volumetric traffic management
Efficient and scalable
• Real-time detection of large flows
via sFlow-RT (Real-Time)
• Collector programs controller to apply
appropriate treatment of flow
• Brocade value:
‒Capability integrated into router with
OpenFlow hybrid mode
‒High-performance flow management
• Benefits:
‒Mitigation at border relieves rest of DC
‒Programmatic closed-loop control
‒Limits investment in expensive appliances

10. A New Network Architecture
Software Defined Networking Logically Centralizes the Control Plane
• EMS, NMS, CLI and APIs specific to the
switch or router vendor
• Proprietary control plane per device
• Communication protocols standardized for
interoperability

15. Cloud Orchestration — OpenStack
Open source management framework for clouds
• Open source cloud management framework
for private and public clouds
• Created by Rackspace and NASA in July 2010
• Capturing the hearts and minds of the industry
‒ Rapidly becoming the de facto open source standard
for cloud computing
‒ ~200 participants and 6,000+ developers
‒ Allows any organization to create and offer cloud
computing capabilities using open source software,
rapidly and at a low cost

20. The benefits of OPEN
• Remember Linux in the 90‘s
• The OPEN networking projects are at varying degrees of maturity
• First use-cases and solutions are already in production
• Eventually, this will be the disruptive standard for agile and flexible
network architectures supporting the New IP
• NOW is the time, to shape a strategic OPEN mind set
towards the future proof infrastructure of tomorrow
