The document discusses open source software and the Open Networking Foundation (ONF). It cites a survey finding that 78% of companies use open source software and open source has become the default approach. The ONF has over 30 open source SDN projects with over 500 downloads per month. The document references ancient Chinese philosophy about acting without claiming and letting work endure, relating it to open source SDN. It discusses ONF's partnership with the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology to provide SDN certification and training.

什麼使得它留下來。
“To bear and not to own; to act
and not lay claim; to do the work
and let it go: for just letting it go is
what makes it stay.”

• Open Source SDN will succeed if we bear the work without striving to own
it only for ourselves.
• Open Source SDN will succeed if we act together and not lay claim
individually.
• Open Source SDN will succeed if we do the work together and let go of
our ego.
• When we let our ego subside, our work will endure.

iSDX (Software-Defined IXP) Software
brings the merits of SDN to interdomain
routing. Today’s networks can only forward
traffic based on the destination IP prefixes
and routes offered by their immediate
neighbors. SDN can give direct control
over packet-processing rules that match on
multiple header fields and perform a variety
of actions.

Project CASTOR is a controller-based architecture for interconnections in data centers,
specifically targeting two market segments:
(a) Public peering between domains at an Internet Exchange Point (IXP)
(b) Private peering between enterprises and cloud service providers
Timeline
• 2016 Q1: Development of various components, including CASTOR application on ONOS that
can establish basic L3 peering and L2 connectivity, web-interface to manage connectivity.
• 2016 Q2: Demonstration on a simple set-up of one switch and four peers exchanging traffic;
showing that hygiene is maintained and ARP storms are blocked.
• 2016 Q3: Enhancement of the user-interface, including support for VLAN-tagged frames.
• 2016 Q4: [tentative] Support for visualization of telemetry and rate-limiting of interconnect traffic.

LAOZI 老子(Lao Tzu) in the DAODEJING 道德經 (Tao te Ching)
小心你什麼水你的夢想有。有擔心害怕它們澆水，你會產生從你
的夢想制敵於死命雜草。樂觀和解決方案，它們澆水，你會培養
成功。始終在尋找辦法將問題轉化為成功的機會。總是在尋找方
法來培養你的夢想。
“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear
and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them
with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the
lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be
on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”
