Editor's Notes
- Key Takeaway: Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are forces of change and are driving the network transformation Traditional fixed-function devices can be replaced with COTS servers running these network functions in software as virtual applications Next generation (SDN/NFV) networks enable scalability, automated provisioning, increase agility and more efficient network operation leading to improved Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Make money + save money The Server is becoming the new networking platform Speaker Notes: Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are forces of change and are driving the network transformation. NFV uses standard IT virtualization technology to migrate proprietary fixed-function boxes to software applications on a Commercial off the shelf (COTS) Intel Architecture-based server, which can host multiple virtual network functions. For example, fixed-function devices such as routers, firewalls, load balancers, and intrusion detection systems can be replaced with a COTS server running these network functions in software. SDN architectures decouple network control and forwarding functions, enabling network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted from applications and network services. SDN/NFV next generation networks enable scalability, automates provisioning, increases agility and more efficient network operation leading to improved TCO. This allows customers to not only save money but also make money by having the ability to deploy new services. SDN and NVF are enabling the server to become the new networking platform From This, (Traditional networking topology pain points) Monolithic vertical integrated box Proprietary solutions Manual provisioning (not agile or efficient) To This, the Vision (next generation SDN/NFV network Networking within VMs on Standard IA server hardware Open source/standard solutions (OpenStack, OpenDaylight, etc…) Automated provisioning (increased service agility and efficient network operation)

- Key Takeaways: Intel is a leader in the open standards bodies Intel is actively contributing and up streaming to open source Intel is advancing open source and open standards Speaker Notes: Intel’s is advancing open source and open standards by taking a leadership/influencing role and participating in the standards consortia (board positions on ETSI, OPNFV and ODL). It is key to promote and contribute to industry standards and open source solutions to address the challenge of interoperability We also actively contribute to the open source Linux community OpenStack: enhanced platform awareness optimizations up-streamed to expose Intel capabilities: QAT, CPU, DPDK ; OpenDaylight: Contributing DPDK Open vSwitch with RHT, Cisco; Open vSwitch: Up-streamed DPDK 1.7 via VMware ; DPDK.org: Industry leading open source data plane development kit (libraries and drivers for fast packet performance); IETF Service Chaining: Co-Authored “Geneve” with VMWare. First to market with Geneve on Fortville DPDK: continual and consistent beat rate of releasing DPDK on DPDK.org for Networking on each IA tick-tock cycle For more information please see the Open Standards golden deck (links provided at the end of the presentation Additional Notes: Intel’s Software Defined Networking Division demonstrates leadership in enabling the network transformation opportunity created by SDN and NFV. We invest into ten open source and standards initiatives, from the ETSI-NFV group to our own packet processing project on 01.org. In the first two initiatives listed here, ETSI and IETF, our engagement focuses on contributing expertise to create new technical specifications, use cases, reference architectures and networking protocols. Intel’s long-established leadership in working with the Linux Foundation is extended to the two leading Collaboration Projects focusing on SDN and NFV respectively. We took a leadership position to establish the Open platform for NFV initiative and are investing into contributing code, specifications and test procedures to the OpenDaylight SDN controller project. To show our commitment to both initiatives, we joined them at the highest level, Platinum. The next five initiatives represent various user and vendor specific open source projects covering key elements in the SDN/NFV space such as vSwitches, communications protocols such as OpenFlow, fast-growing orchestration projects such as OpenStack and our partner-based DPDK project on DPDK.org. Finally, we are engaging with a wide community of partners on our Open Network Platform which is released on 01.org. Intel is unique not only in the breadth of its SDN and NFV centered open source commitment, we also cover the entire lifecycle of contributions from specifications, to code, to test procedures and integrated reference platforms such as ONP that have been pre-integrated, pre-configured and validated. Check out the ONP Golden Deck for more information on these exciting rapid deployment choices!
- The GTM strategy and actions that Intel takes to support the transformation, create market awareness and accelerate SDN/NFV adoption -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Step #1: Advance Open Source Open Standards. Step #2: : Bring it all together by delivering Open Network Platform (ONP) reference architecture to accelerate SDN/NFV adoption Deliver “better together” solution: Development and Integration of Intel’s software building blocks that are based on Open standards and Open source projects for SDN and NFV. ONP Server (aka Sunrise Trail) is an HW and SW reference architecture. The HW is an off the shelf standard IA-based server and the reference software is fully integrated Open software exposing IA capabilities Objectives: Show feasibility ; raise market awareness; enable network transformation and accelerate SDN/NFV adoption ONP Switch SW (aka NOS)
- Key Takeaways for Intel Sales/field: Intel is developing open reference architectures to accelerate SDN and NFV adoption in telecom carrier networks, cloud data centers, and enterprise environments Intel ONP Server reduces adoption barrier for Telco/Cloud providers and Enterprise and simplifies, thus accelerating, the development cycle of new SDN/NFV products introduced by TEM/OEM/ISV/OSV. 3. Open Source software unlocks the dependency on single-purpose dedicated HW and enable solution that are based on Industry Standard High Volume Servers (SHVS), driving better TCO. 4. The server is becoming the central element for SDN and NFV deployments -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker Notes: Intel is Accelerating SDN and NFV adoption by developing open reference architectures and making them available to the ecosystem. There are two reference architectures: Intel ONP Server (aka Sunrise Trail). The other is Intel ONP Switch Software (aka NOS) that is in development to be aligned with Red Rock Canyon availability. On the left hand side a visual description of What Intel ONP Server is. ONP Server is a RA server that provides a hardware/software template for creating and showcasing SDN and NFV server solutions. 1. The foundation - Intel ONP Server reference HW: Any IA-based industry Standards High Volume Server (SHVS) can be used. Platform validate by Intel is based on Intel Xeon Processors (IV-Bridge; Haswell); Available today with QAT technology for crypto and compression Available today with Niantic/Fortville NICs; Next generation NIC/Switch will be RRC based and available with ONP Switch software. 2. On top - Intel ONP Server Open Source Software Stack: ONP Server software architecture is aligned with the architecture defined by ETSI for NFV ONP Server software is based ONLY on OPEN SOURCE software available from software communities to which Intel is a long time contributor. For example: OpenStack, OpenDaylight, DPDK, OpenvSwitch; OPNFV. The value of Open Source is that the communities advances technology quicker by adding value toward similar goals and creating a focused effort. Another huge value of consuming Open Source is that Open Source software unlocks product dependency on single-purpose, dedicated HW and allows adoption of Industry Standard servers. ONP Server project Contributes to OPNFV and Consumes OPNVF releases. ONP is aligned with the goals of the OPNFV project and is actually Intel’s instantiation of OPNFV; 3. How the ONP Server released and what is delivered? ONP Server RA is released on a quarterly cadence in the form of reference architecture documentation posted on 01.org: a. Intel ONP Server Reference Architecture Guide: Think of this as a “cook book” that provide instructions for building and validating ONP server in a SDN environment. ONP is a quick/easy jumpstart for developers: RA Guide provide scripts for building the node, ODL controller, and OpenStack platform software. ONP is a mature, already validated solution: RA provides scenarios for setting and testing the server ONP enables development of real life use cases: RA provides characterization of reference applications such as vBNG & vCPE. b. Intel ONP Server Benchmark Test Report: Deliver ONP Server performance results: Throughput; Latancy/Jitter Based on use cases informed by customers and market requirements and “Telco Grade” - Using standard test methodology such as RFC2544. c. Remote access to a demo that showcase the value proposition of ONP 4. Intel ONP Server is real and adopted by customers. Dell and HP recently announced their NFV Platforms (Dell PowerEdge Servers and HP ProLiant) that are based on the Intel ONP server reference architecture. Additional OEM announcement are forthcoming. Currently >15 OEMs/ISVs collaborating + demonstrating ONP Server On the right hand side – ONP Server Value Proposition: Intel is developing open reference architectures to accelerate SDN and NFV adoption in telecom carrier networks, cloud data centers, and enterprise environments Intel ONP Server reduces adoption barrier for Telco/Cloud providers and Enterprise. This is mainly done by having ONP Server used in POC and Demos that support technology evaluation and vendor technology decision making >>> for Intel Sales: Accelerate Telco/Cloud buy decision making 3. Intel ONP server simplifies the develop of SDN/NFV solutions This reference architecture provides an easy jumpstart for developer. It makes it simple and easy to develop innovative, flexible cloud SDN/NFV networking solutions based on Intel Architecture. The benchmark test results provided by Intel are based on standard mythologies and are a good reference point >>> for Intel Sales: Accelerating availability of innovative SDN/NFV IA -based products in the market 4. Better TCO with Industry Standard High Volume Servers (SHVS) Intel ONP Server unlocks HW/SW dependency. Open Source software removes product dependency on single-purpose dedicated HW and enable solution that are based on Industry Standard High Volume Servers (SHVS) >>> for Intel Sales: More Industry Standard High Volume Servers based on IA to be deployed 5. HW and SW enhancements enable customers to meet SLAs Through Intel DPDK technology packet processing is improved significantly. In addition, hardware attributes are exposed to the higher management layer , such as OpenStack, for better network decision making driving improved network performance.
- Key Takeaways: Desire is for customers to be able to purchase servers, add RRC-based I/O device, and run an enterprise Linux on top of it. Lowers Op Ex - Linux driver enables fast learning curve for agile DevOps Speaker Notes: The other RA is the Intel ONP Switch SW. It is an open source Linux driver enabling the use of familiar Linux semantics to control the switch. Crawl, Walk, Run strategy for going to market with an open source Linux driver: Crawl and Walk 2015 (Development and Launch) – Open sourcing takes at least 2 years. Therefore in 2015, Intel will enable two to three third party ISVs. Aricent and IP Infusion are two of the ISVs. For customers who already have a proprietary stack, they can port it over to the Linux switch driver. Walk, Run - Second half of 2016 Intel will start upstreaming the Linux driver in 2015. All features need to be upstreamed by the end of 2015 to make it into the 2016 Q2 Red Hat distribution. Intel is working with the open source community to upstream the RRC switch driver on Linux. Run – 2017 and beyond - an open network switch platform software stack available in open source and from major Linux distributions Key point is that the Linux Driver that Intel is developing enables ease of use for the DevOps community. They are already familiar with using Linux drivers for their Ethernet NICs today. The same semantics will be used to program and configure RRC. Therefore, in the second half of 2016, the goal is for a Red Hat Enterprise distribution to come with a Red Rock Canyon open source Linux driver. The other RA is the Intel ONP Switch SW. It is an open source Linux driver enabling the use of familiar Linux semantics to control the switch. Integrates with Open Source Linux Layer 2 and 3 protocols. Or the customer has the option of using his own proprietary software stack; or partnering with an ISV (Aricent & IP Infusion) for the protocol stack and management interfaces. Aricent will be available at Launch with their ISS switching stack on Red Rock Canyon. The SOW will be executed by the end of 2014. SDN Ready - Integrates with Open Daylight, OpenStack, Open vSwitch Open vSwitch integrates with Red Rock Canyon ONP Switch Software through the an API that is not announced yet. Part of ONP Switch SW includes uStack which was developed to support the RSA architecture as an ingredient Rack Scale Architecture and uStack. uStack enables Rack scale architecture software. It is a protocol layer between RSA software and the ONP Switch SW Linux driver. uStack (aka DCRP) is a data center reachability protocol: DCRP is a data center optimized network protocol that automatically detects how to reach all other switches in a datacenter fabric, and the attached servers and routers connected to those detected switches. This reachability map is used to program the forwarding table of the switch, and where possible multiple paths will be used to reach a server or address prefix detected in the network. DCRP may export the detected topology and neighbor state to an authorized requester such as an SDN controller, allowing the requester to layer on additional intelligence such a monitoring, telemetry, ACLs and path optimization onto the fabric. As opposed to BGP, DCRP was architected and designed specifically for the data center, allowing for a simpler and more robust protocol that satisfies the requirements of forwarding L2, IPv4 and IPv6 traffic across a data center fabric.

- Companies are embracing SDN/NFV using IA in their network A few public examples include: Nasdaq (service chain with Brocade vRouter) Nasdaq will utilize Brocade vRouter (on Dell ONP server HW) together with physical switches (Brocade VDX 87xx and VDX 67xx) to build a low latency spine leaf networking system for their trading environment. They are provisioning their network using OpenStack to drive a state of the art networking service chain. The virtual machines will be running on Red Hat enterprise Linux (RHEL). UBS (Hadoop-as-a-Service) UBS is building a Hadoop cluster composed of flash and spinning drives. The Hadoop cluster will be connected together using Nuage vRouter and will also use will also use SDN-enabled switches from Arista. The overall system is provisioned using OpenStack. The Hadoop cluster will run docker containers to perform banking operation (end of day transactions inventory) on Intel servers. The cluster will be using Ubuntu Linux from Canonical. China Mobile CRAN, vEPC - demonstrated an integrated vEPC at mobile world congress in February. This demo supported multivendor EPC components - all running in SW and hosted on standard IUA servers. A great proof point of the realization of NFV for mobile core applications SKT – Liquid Applications with NSN - introduces Intel based servers that are integrated to the Base station TEF – vCPE, vEPC with NEC Verizon – WAN/Cloud Bursting with Intel IT and HP, Traffic steering with HP BT – vBRAS + vCDN NTT Call Server ATT Domain 2.0 Speaker Notes: Companies are embracing SDN/NFV using General purpose processing technology in their network - SKT, CM, ATT, Telefonica, VZ, BT, SKT, etc… There are >25 pilots going on currently around the world based on Intel Architecture and we are very excited to be a part of them A few public examples include China Mobile CRAN, vEPC - demonstrated an integrated vEPC at mobile world congress in February. This demo supported multivendor EPC components - all running in SW and hosted on standard IUA servers. A great proof point of the realization of NFV for mobile core applications Verizon – WAN/Cloud Bursting with Intel IT and HP, Traffic steering with HP BT – vBRAS + vCDN NTT Call Server SKT – Liquid Applications with NSN - introduces Intel based servers that are integrated to the Base station. The NSN Liquid Applications portfolio is an innovation in the industry that introduces Intel based servers that are integrated to the Base station, either mounted in the street cabinet or on the cell tower. Launched in February ‘13 at Mobile World Congress, SK Telecom (in Korea) has just finalized the lab-testing phase of Liquid Applications* over LTE, achieving a major milestone for enhancing the mobile broadband experience. The successful testing was conducted with three advanced services over LTE: location-based mobile advertising, augmented reality and premium application delivery. After the installation of Liquid Applications into the SK Telecom laboratories at the end of June, testing was conducted during a three-month period, with a view to showing how Liquid Applications provided greater context for personalizing services and enabling the simple subscriber tariffs that SK Telecom offers for data-centric applications and services. November 25, ‘13 Nokia Solutions and Networks has demonstrated its telco cloud capabilities in a joint proof-of-concept for Evolved Packet Core (EPC) virtualization with SK Telecom, the leading operator in Korea. This Networks Functions Virtualization (NFV) project showed successful results for capacity scaling for both throughput and signaling traffic in connection with smartphone usage patterns. TEF – vCPE, vEPC with NEC Telefónica I+D* and Intel converted processes running on expensive, purpose-built hardware in the network edge infrastructure into software-based solutions that can be virtualized and run on Intel architecture processors. The solution enables Telefónica I+D to increase service innovation, reduce development cycles, and lower costs for network operation and evolution. Telecom service providers have traditionally relied on specialized, proprietary hardware solutions to support this part of the network chain. This approach is increasingly difficult to operate and evolve, particularly in multi-vendor environments with every function on a dedicated physical box which makes evolution and optimization decisions difficult. Concerns with incompatibility between different nodes, making the hardware-led ecosystem more complex to evolve in fast-changing scenarios, where the pace of innovation might be critical. Telefonica NFV POC on Xeon E5. A primary challenge was to ensure that the new software processes could deliver the same level of performance on the new hardware as on the existing, proprietary devices. To achieve this, Telefónica I+D worked closely with Intel engineers to optimize its network processes for the new hardware environment, using the Intel DPDK, which is specifically designed to support packet processing on Intel architecture. IA POC is able to maintain the same service levels at reduced operating costs, while opening up greater possibilities for innovation. Telefónica can benefit from economies of scale with commercial off-the-shelf hardware. It is now easier to scale up solutions and consolidate multiple processes onto a single server. TCO can be reduced with shorter time to market for new services, reduced power consumption, and simplified maintenance. With a more open, flexible operating environment, engineers can devote more time to developing new and existing services. Sept 2013, AT&T launched the next generation of its Supplier Domain Program – Domain 2.0 – triggering a swift and broad move to a modern, cloud-based architecture that is expected to significantly reduce the time required to pivot to this target architecture while accelerating time-to-market with technologically advanced products and services. Domain 2.0 is a transformative initiative. Integrated through AT&T’s Wide Area Network (WAN) and utilizing Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN), as well as modern architectural and operational approaches, AT&T plans to simplify and scale its network by: Separating hardware and software functionality; Separating network control plane and forwarding planes; and Improving management of functionality in the software layer. With these advances, AT&T plans to increase the value of its network by: Driving improved time-to-revenue; Providing cost-performance leadership; Enabling new growth services and apps; Ensuring world-class, industry leading security, performance and reliability; and Facilitating new business and revenue models. Enterprise examples: UBS and NASDAQ Challenge: The movement to the cloud is driving new architectural and operational behaviors and the need for Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) What we are doing about it: UBS, NASDAQ and Intel are utilizing a healthy and broad ecosystem to build innovative “OPEN” NFV/SDN solutions with software virtual appliances running on industry standard high volume servers that are based on the Intel® Open Network Platform Server (Intel® ONP Server) Reference Architecture which can replace traditional networking and security appliances Value proposition: The move to “OPEN” NFV/SDN solutions running on industry standard servers based on Intel Architecture enables UBS and NASDAQ to automate provisioning, increase agility and operate the network more efficiently leading to improved TCO
