SDN TestingBenchmarking the SDN controller!Ralph Daniels!Spirent Communications!Vice Chair, ONF Testing & Interoperability, Benchmarking!! 2014 Open Networking Foundation
At Spirent Communications we help the world communicate and collaborate faster,better and more often. The world's leading communications companies rely on Spirent tohelp design, develop and deliver world-class network, devices and services.Today, we are helping to validate the first deployments of Software Defined Networks inAsia, Americas, and EMEA. http://www.spirent.com/go/openflowAn early supporter of SDN initiatives, such as OpenFlow andOpenDaylight, Brocade is helping organizations realize the promise ofopen SDN through tested, carrier-grade products that support collaborativedevelopment and self-service tware-defined-networking/brocadevyatta-controller
Benchmarking the SDN ControllerBrocade Vyatta ControllerSpirent OpenFlow Switch Emulation Quality assured edition of OpenDaylight controller Works with both Virtual and Physical network SDNdevices that are from multiple vendors High scale, high performance, robust platform Gives user the ability to choose networkingplatforms independently of network architecturalneeds Supports rapid service design, development, andteardown Supports interfaces from 1G to 100G and Virtualplatform High scale emulation - 2000 switches per port Switch to Controller Packet-In testing at largescale Connection monitoring, Flow Add validation atscale Validates your SDN Controller at scale as yourcustomers
Benchmarking the SDN ControllerBusiness Value Allows for testing your SDN network at the scale ofplanned deployment CapEx Reduction– Test at scale with Spirent TestCenter or Virtual– Spirent TestCenter already in most labs– Virtual will work on existing Hypervisor– No physical switches required – cabling reduced OpEx Reduction– Quickly setup configuration with quick wizard interface– No cabling hassles, all is virtual– Fully automatedMasterControllerSlaveController
Benchmarking the SDN ControllerTechnology Value Accelerates Deployment of SDN controllers and applicationswith confidence using large scale OpenFlow SwitchEmulation under heavy load Supports interfaces from 1G to 100G and Virtual platform Supports OpenFlow versions 1.3x and 1.0.x Automation Support (REST) via script and GUI Command Sequencer for interactive benchmarking testUsed by Vyatta: Fully tested version of the OpenDaylightcontroller the industry’s leading open-source SDN controllerMasterControllerSlaveController
Benchmarking the SDN ControllerDemo Will emulate multiple large networks with various topologies– Show ease of configuration and setup time Will connect the topology to the Vyatta controller– Show all connections are up and stable Vyatta controller will add Flows for network– Display and show all flows on all switches The hosts on the Switches will start to send network traffic tothe Vyatta controller at various loads– Traffic from all Switch's in parallel – counters / rates– ARPs, Pings, L2, and L3– Monitor all connections at max peak to verify stabilityMasterControllerSlaveController
Benchmarking the SDN ControllerSummary Shows the ease of use and importance of testing at scale Allows SDN controller and application developers to quicklyfind problems that may have otherwise been found by theircustomers in production Allows for optimization with large networks Proves that Brocade’s Vyatta SDN controller:– Is a quality assured edition– High Scale, High Performance, Robust PlatformMasterControllerSlaveController
