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.

Providing virtual private cloud services for enterprises

With the rise of the SDN Environment, the network becomes more complicated and hard to manage. The OpenDaylight Nemo project provides the Intent northbound interface to simplify use of the network. The main idea behind the Intent northbound interface is to let the network operator express how the network topology should be configured instead of thinking how to implement the new network topology configuration. In this recipe, we will use the OpenDaylight Nemo project to provide a secure virtual private cloud (VPC) service to an enterprise site. The scenario of our recipe is that a network operator wants to allocate two zones: the Data Management Zone (DMZ) and the Interior Zone. The DMZ zone provides video/e-mail access from the internet and the Interior Zone provides compute and storage resources. A constrain in the network...
