Overview of this book

OpenDaylight is an open source platform to program and build Software-Defined Networks (SDN). Its aim is to accelerate the adoption of SDN and NFV. With above 90 practical recipes, this book will help you to solve day-to-day problems and maintenance tasks surrounding OpenDaylight’s implementation. This book starts with the OpenDaylight fundamentals. In this book, you will gain a sound understanding of the methods and techniques when deploying OpenDaylight in production environment. Later on, you will learn to create a Service Chain using SFC. This book will address common problems and day-to-day maintenance tasks with OpenDaylight. We’ll also will teach you how to interact with OpenDaylight APIs and use the necessary tools to simulate networks. You will also explore how to create your own branded OpenDaylight along with authorising and authenticating users using OpenDaylight Identity Manager. By the end of this book, you will have the necessary skills to operate an OpenDaylight SDN environment.

Preface

OpenDaylight is an open source project aiming to be a common tool across the networking industry for enterprises, service providers, and manufacturers. This provides a highly available multiprotocol infrastructure geared to build and manage software-defined networking (SDN) deployments. Based on a Model Driven Service Abstraction Layer, the platform is extensible and allows users to create applications for communicating with a wide variety of southbound protocols and hardware.

In other words, OpenDaylight is a framework used to solve networking-related use cases in both SDN and network function virtualization (NFV) domains.

The recipes in these chapters will present fundamental use cases one can solve using OpenDaylight.

A common and widely used network emulator, Mininet, is required to perform various recipes in this book. Prior to any recipe, as a requirement, you will need a running version of Mininet.
