OpenDaylight Cookbook

By: Rashmi Pujar, ICARO CAMELO, Yrineu Rodrigues

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.

MPLS intents and label management

NIC's mapping service should make the creation of intents between two endpoints to be handled by the OpenFlow renderer possible. Thus, this renderer can generate OpenFlow rules for push or pop labels to the MPLS endpoint nodes. After an IPv4 Prefix match and forward to port rule once MPLS label match, all the switches that form the shortest path between the endpoints using the Dijkstra algorithm.

Getting ready

Some constraints were added to the intent model for protection and failover mechanism to ensure end-to-end connectivity between endpoints. These constraints aim to reduce the risk of connectivity failure due to a single link or port-down event on a forwarding device. The constraints...
