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.

Implementing new extensions to the BGP and PCEP protocols

The BGP and PCEP protocols offer extensibility features to add new behavior. There are many RFCs and drafts available for extensions to these two protocols. The OpenDaylight BGP-PCEP implementation offers a way to support these extensions. In this recipe, we will look at some implementation guidelines to add new extensions to BGP and PCEP protocols in OpenDaylight.

The BGP parser module implementation presently supports the following RFCs:

  • RFC3107: Carrying Label Information in BGP-4
  • RFC4271: A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4)
  • RFC4724: Graceful Restart Mechanism for BGP
  • RFC4760: Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4
  • RFC1997: BGP Communities Attribute
  • RFC4360: BGP Extended Communities Attribute
  • RFC6793: BGP Support for Four-Octet Autonomous System (AS) Number Space
  • RFC4486: Subcodes for BGP Cease Notification Message
  • RFC5492...
