Track: Programmable Real-Time Networks |
| Network services as code made possible by collaboration across standards and open source |
| The User Network Interface (UNI) Manager project in OpenDaylight provides data models and APIs that enable creation and management of carrier ethernet services defined by MEF in physical and virtual network elements. In this session, Charles provides an overview of UNI Manager (UniMgr), the collaboration between MEF and IETF on its YANG models, and the use of OpenDaylight as an implementation platform. In addition to a demo of the functionality, Charles highlights the changes in MEF and IETF that enabled this collaboration and the benefits of combining standards and open source to the OpenDaylight community. The audience is network engineers and software developers involved in standards organizations or open source efforts related to network programmability. It is targeted more toward those working in the service provider space, but the session is generally applicable to other areas as well. The audience will gain sufficient background to understand and appreciate the revolution in internet and service provider networking standards that IETF and MEF are driving as well as how these standards organization are reinventing themselves and embracing open source to remain relevant. Perhaps most importantly, they will learn how and why to engage with such standards organizations to increase adoption of their open source project and gain valuable insights and improvements from a new community of developers and users. |
