Island topology

SDN network

• FIBRENet– overlay network on top of RNP production

network– integrates the islands of the project – offers a fast and secure way to build experiments

at various levels of network and media (wired or wireless).

– SDN based • programmability, virtualization and separate data and

control planes7

RNP network

FIBREnet

FIBREnet

• Two overlay networks:• Data Plane

– Overlay network point-to-point– Static VLANs

• Control Plane– Multipoint-multipoint– VPLS

FIBRE International Connections (BR-EU)

Overall view of SDN resources• Geographical extension

– 10 islands in Brazil + 3 islands in EU (UK, ES and GR)

• Control Plane– VPLS – L3 - IPv4 (10.x.x.x)

• Data Plane– VLANs / QinQ

• International connections– Two VLANs – QinQ– In São Paulo separate control and data planes– Mapping control plane in VPLS cloud– Stitch EU data plane with BR data plane

• Enable layer2 data flows for SDN 13

Federation

• FIBRE was born federated• MySlice – SFA based

– Federate all FIBRE aggregate managers• Authentication using CAFe (Shib federation) or

LDAP• Authorization

– Access rules are in definition• PI role to authorize slice and account creation ??

14

Operations

• NOC in Brazil – Using PerfSonar and ZenOSS – Monitoring all AM and the components of

Federation• Not yet in production

– Not open to play – Planned for October 2014
