This demonstration showcases the open-source Net2Plan tool optimally computing and provisioning Service Chain requests with latency considerations by interfacing to an ONOS-controlled metro network and an ETSI-OSM instance orchestrating a set of OpenStack VIMs.

Abstract:In a metro network with VIMs orchestrated by an ETSI-OSM instance, and an optical transport controller, we demonstrate optimized service chain provisioning using the open-source Net2Plan tool with interfaces to OSM (new) and transport controller.

We demonstrate an open-source Net2Plan extension interfacing multiple OpenStack instances for enabling multi-datacenter IT resource management, with multi-tenant slicing in an ETSI-OSM orchestrated and ONOS-controlled IP over WDM transport network.

We report an analysis of completeness and suitability of OpenConfig, OpenROADM and OpenDevice models, for physical-impairment aware network planning, and a proof-of-concept in a partially disaggregated testbed exposing equipment information to Net2Plan through ONOS.

The open-source planning tool Net2Plan provides a network Optimization-as-a-Service system to assist Open-Source MANO and WAN Infrastructure Manager(s) with the joint computation of multi-site VNF placement and multi-layer resource allocation in the deployment of a network service in a metro network.
