Few questions on ALTO and ONOS

Y. Richard Yang
 

Dear Tamim,

Wonderful! 

Per my personal wish list, a main feature that I want to improve on is high quality ECS service, based on various metrics. Any interest?

Dear Tamim,

Thanks a lot for the questions. Sorry for the late reply, as I am working on a few deadlines. How about we schedule a time to discuss the items in details later next week?

In the mean time, are you interested in engaging more in the alto effort? For example, we are working on adding more features to the ODL server. Any interest in getting engaged?

Thanks!

I have few questions in mind.

How can we get the dynamic cost map from OpenFlow switch? Do we use OpenFlow meter? Are we considering about dynamic cost-map at all? As there will be multiple competing flows, so available bandwidth will change over time. Please advise.

Can we also create a paradigm to cache contents in the SDN controller (or in a controller app)? I think, this shouldn't be in the context of ALTO, but still would be very helpful. For example, if multiple clients watch a live video on a campus network, we should be able to cache the video slices in the controller. Then controller can push the content proactivly without notifying the clients. Again controller can serve the content in a reactive manner through a north bound protocol.

Today I was trying to write a simple application in ONOS. I was trying the VM from sdnhub. I could run ONOS. The sample Foo program compiled, but I couldn't load it on Karaf. If you have a VM that has the development environment setup, that will be very helpful to start.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if i get anything wrong. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks
Tamim

Yeah, interested. Is that the Endpoint Cost Service? What are the metrics we are considering?

That sounds great. Is there an ODL service that I can use to get the network topology and link metric?

There was a topologymanager in earlier releases you might look into.

Tamim,

Yes. As Kai pointed out, the TopologyManager is a good place to get started. Could you please start to take a look and then we can sync up?

Thanks!

Hi

Could you please advise me if I have understood ECS correctly? 

I was told, in the first step, we calculate the shortest hop-count assuming that the link metric is 1. Do we just implement a shortest-path algorithm for the topology graph based on the data from TopologyManager?

Next step is to figure out a natural interface, in ODL, to configure link metrics and compute routing cost. Do we design a YANG model to configure link properties (link cost metrics)? Currently I don't see link properties (such as delay, bandwidth) in NodeConnector or TopologyUserLinkConfig. Am I missing anything? Do we have to design a data structure to store the cost metric for each link?

Which version of ODL do I look into? I don't see TopologyManager code in the Lithium release. I only see the class files. Am I missing anything? However I see the TopologyManager in Hydrogen release. 

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks
Tamim

Dear Tamim,

Thanks for the update. We had a mini design summit on ECS last week. The plan is to have a running version in two weeks. Given your questions, it is a good idea that we write down the design soon so that we can all work together. 

@Shu/Junzhuo: I believe that you are leading the ECS design. Can you write down the discussion soon so that we can discuss with Tamim and others.

Thanks!

Richard

Hi

Could you please advise me if I have understood ECS correctly? 

I was told, in the first step, we calculate the shortest hop-count assuming that the link metric is 1. Do we just implement a shortest-path algorithm for the topology graph based on the data from TopologyManager?

Next step is to figure out a natural interface, in ODL, to configure link metrics and compute routing cost. Do we design a YANG model to configure link properties (link cost metrics)? Currently I don't see link properties (such as delay, bandwidth) in NodeConnector or TopologyUserLinkConfig. Am I missing anything? Do we have to design a data structure to store the cost metric for each link?

Which version of ODL do I look into? I don't see TopologyManager code in the Lithium release. I only see the class files. Am I missing anything? However I see the TopologyManager in Hydrogen release. 

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks
Tamim

Thanks Kai! I'm looking into it.

Tamim,

Yes. As Kai pointed out, the TopologyManager is a good place to get started. Could you please start to take a look and then we can sync up?

Thanks!

There was a topologymanager in earlier releases you might look into.

That sounds great. Is there an ODL service that I can use to get the network topology and link metric?

Tamim,

Yeah, interested. Is that the Endpoint Cost Service?
 
Yes. You got it.

 
What are the metrics we are considering? 
One basic step is to make sure we get shortest path fully right. A natural link metric is 1, and we get shortest hop count. A next step is to figure out a natural interface, in ODL, to configure link metrics, and we compute routing cost. A third component in ODL to conduct traffic engineering.

Let's get a couple proposals out in next week. How does this sound?

Dear Tamim,

Wonderful! 

Per my personal wish list, a main feature that I want to improve on is high quality ECS service, based on various metrics. Any interest?

Yeah, sure. I'm interested on adding features to the ALTO ODL server. Please let me know what you want me to do.

Thanks

Dear Tamim,

Thanks a lot for the questions. Sorry for the late reply, as I am working on a few deadlines. How about we schedule a time to discuss the items in details later next week?

In the mean time, are you interested in engaging more in the alto effort? For example, we are working on adding more features to the ODL server. Any interest in getting engaged?

Thanks!

I have few questions in mind.

How can we get the dynamic cost map from OpenFlow switch? Do we use OpenFlow meter? Are we considering about dynamic cost-map at all? As there will be multiple competing flows, so available bandwidth will change over time. Please advise.

Can we also create a paradigm to cache contents in the SDN controller (or in a controller app)? I think, this shouldn't be in the context of ALTO, but still would be very helpful. For example, if multiple clients watch a live video on a campus network, we should be able to cache the video slices in the controller. Then controller can push the content proactivly without notifying the clients. Again controller can serve the content in a reactive manner through a north bound protocol.

Today I was trying to write a simple application in ONOS. I was trying the VM from sdnhub. I could run ONOS. The sample Foo program compiled, but I couldn't load it on Karaf. If you have a VM that has the development environment setup, that will be very helpful to start.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if i get anything wrong. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks
Tamim
