The open networking or open source networking is an interesting area of networking which covers a wide range of different topics from hardware disaggregation, network operating system (NOS) to orchestration, automation and network data analytics. This slide intends to provide an overview of this area with some examples of huge projects and their products along with more focus on hardware disaggregation and NOS.

1. Open Networking
An Overview

2. Where is Open Source Networking?
Gartner (May/2016), said:
"The market has matured rapidly over the last few years, with many organizations having server virtualization
rates that exceed 75 percent, illustrating the high level of penetration."

3. Legacy Network The network evolution is slow!
Each vendor has built its
own software and has
invested in creating that
proprietary software.

4. Cloud Impacts Networking!
A cloud environment virtualizes the following resources:
• Compute
• Storage
• Network
Network Virtualization Network Function Virtualization

5. Open Source and Software Defined Networking Landscape

6. Disaggregated Hardware

7. Disaggregated Hardware
Underneath of network boxes :
• Packet processor and forwarding
• CPU, along with RAM and flash
• Other controllers, such as console port,
LED controller, interface controllers, etc.
• Software.

8. Disaggregated Hardware
The Open Compute Project (OCP) was announced
by Facebook, along with Intel, RackSpace, Goldman Sachs,
and Andy Bechtolsheim, in April 2011.
