Keynote presentation by Amin Vahdat on behalf of Google Technical Infrastructure and Google Cloud Platform. Presentation was delivered at the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
A Centrally Orchestrated SD-WAN Building a Green Ecosystem
SD-WAN is a hot technology that is moving from the drawing board to production. It has changed the WAN equation forever and resulted in enterprises looking at the Connectively and Carrier Services quite differently.
It is an SDN use case to connect enterprise locations over large distances. It promises to reduce enterprises’ IT expenses by using broadband connections and running managed services in the cloud.
It simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by decoupling the networking hardware from its control mechanism. Panel will discuss details of use cases that standards and Operators are deploying e.g. including major multi-operator MEF reference implementation of Orchestrated L3VPN.
SDN-Based Enterprise Connectivity Service
In this presentation, the SDN-Based Enterprise Connectivity Service Architecture of China Unicom will be introduced. And the four use cases will be discussed, including: “Flexible access for enterprise, Cloud access and resource centralized, High efficiency, elastic transport for DCI, Extensible VAS deployment for services”. Finally, some commercial experience in China Unicom will be shared.
Open and Disaggregated Transport SDN - from PoC to Field Trial
Traditional carriers' transport networks consist of vertically-integrated devices with vendor-proprietary interfaces, that causes "vendor lock in" environment and interferes with adopting software based control and configuration for carriers' transport networks. NTT Communications are trying to adopt disaggregation approach for them to transform our operations by integrating commoditized multi-vendor components and SDN technology.
In this presentation, we will talk about our expectations for disaggregated transport networks and its controller architecture with multiple SDN controllers including open source software. Furthermore, we will show our internal evaluation result of disaggregated transport network feasibility and discuss future development plans.
Disaggregated Networking - The Drivers, the Software & The High Availability
Dis-agregration is real… This trend started with SDN and the separation of Data plane and Control plane. The scope has expanded to include separate of hardware and software and created a whole new industry of white boxes, general purpose X86 commodity hardware. All three markets - Cloud, Enterprise and Carriers are now engaged in various solutions inside the Data Center. The disaggregation is impacted all parts of the network including Access and Edge layers.
IoT in Action: Architecting, Securing, & Scaling Applications
amounts of IoT data from connected devices and building infrastructure while simultaneously guaranteeing sensitive information remains private. To do this many factors need to be considered: policy for traffic prioritization, techniques for network partitioning, common APIs and standards, and shared data and security models. Should a smart city network be a shared infrastructure following a public utility model? To what extent do smart city networks need to be open while remaining secure? What open network initiatives do we need to enable building large scale networks for smart cities?

Arachne: How does Uber check the health of its Network Infrastructure every 1...Open Networking Summit
One of the major challenges and requirements in achieving a very high (>99.99%) reliability of operation of any major network infrastructure (i.e. data center, enterprise, campus, etc.) is the ability to design and deploy an always-on active system that performs end-to-end functional testing of all the network-connected infrastructure components and, as a result, monitors the infrastructure and its dependent external services with high accuracy and granularity (down to the packet level) in the most efficient way; consuming the least amount of computational or network resources.
When it comes to packet loss detection, metrics reported by the original manufacturers cannot be relied upon; their tools may either be buggy or, in most cases, do not provide APIs for extracting measurements. Therefore, we needed to create our own tool; this is the gap Arachne is filling.
In this talk, we present Arachne. Arachne is a packet loss detection system and an underperforming path detection system. It provides fast and easy active end-to-end functional testing of all the components in Data Center (DC) and Cloud infrastructures. Arachne is able to detect intra-DC, inter-DC, DC-to-Cloud, and DC-to-External-Services issues by generating minimal traffic.Building Hyperscale Networks
Building hyperscale networks to support massive traffic demands within and between data centers. The infrastructure aims to be invisible, elastic, fault-tolerant, and programmable. Key goals include unlimited bandwidth, zero latency compute access, and a self-healing design. The presented network architecture uses parallel fabrics in a Clos topology with minimal components to provide non-blocking connectivity and scale to hundreds of thousands of servers.
What a difference 5 years make
This document summarizes Guru Parulkar's presentation at the 2017 Open Networking Summit. The presentation discusses the journey of SDN/NFV from disaggregation and open source software to production deployment. It notes that while network operators want to adopt open solutions, they lack development resources and investment. Vendors and system integrators also see opportunities but lack expertise and investment. To succeed in taking disaggregation and open source to production requires aligning incentives to drive sufficient investments.
Harmonizing of Open Source Networking
This document discusses AT&T's plans to transform its network infrastructure through software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV). Some key points:
- AT&T joined the Linux Foundation as a platinum member to support open source development for SDN/NFV.
- The network transformation aims to create an integrated cloud infrastructure for faster innovation and service provisioning.
- AT&T is reskilling over 45% of its technology and operations employees to prepare for the new skills required for SDN/NFV.
- Benefits of the new software-defined network operating system include increased pace of innovation, ease of service provisioning, and ability to scale
Troubleshooting for Intent-based Networking
Joon-Myung Kang and Mario A. Sánchez's presentation at the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
Intent-based networking has gained a lot of interest in recent years with several different open source communities (including ONF, OpenDaylight and ONOS). However, network diagnosis and troubleshooting remain two essential aspects of network management that still require massive manual effort and extensive expert knowledge. So far, no approach has focused on troubleshooting the network at the intent level. We argue that providing reasoning capabilities about why an observed network state happens according to specified input policies can help simplify this complexity. In this talk, we present our work on network troubleshooting at the intent level. Our solution provides capabilities to enable posing what-if type questions at the policy level –e.g. when a new input policy is introduced– to help answer reachability questions both at the policy and infrastructure level.
The Interoperability Challenge in Telecom and NFS Environments
Ildikó Váncsa, Chris Price, and Carsten Rossenhövel's presentation at the 2017 Open Networking Summit.
Communications service providers (CSPs) have a wide range of options when building virtualized services from the ground up including multiple choices for each functional block in the ETSI NFV reference architecture. CSPs prefer heterogeneous systems with building blocks from different vendors including open source software; for such deployments interoperability becomes a crucial requirement.
OpenStack, as the NFVI and VIM, serves as a widely used cloud platform for telecom and NFV use cases. As a common base, OpenStack offers the means for vendors and other open source projects to ease the interoperability challenge by providing a set of open API’s while focusing on upgradeability and backward compatibility.
However, when it comes to productization, interoperability testing often falls short and is sometimes left to the carrier as shown by the testing programs actively run by no fewer than 10 organizations today.
Join Carsten Rossenhövel from the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) and the rapporteur (editor) of ETSI’s NFV interoperability standards, Ildikó Váncsa from the OpenStack Foundation, and Chris Price, Ericsson and OpenStack board director to learn more about
The ETSI NFV Release 2 interoperability testing activities - standardization and recently completed ETSI PlugTest. Over 40 commercial and open source implementations were tested for interoperability, including 20 virtual network functions, 10 management and orchestration solutions and 10 NFV platforms.
The New IP Agency (NIA) interoperability testing campaigns of commercial NFV implementations executed by EANTC, focusing on results, lessons learned and recommendations.
How vendors and open source projects are stepping up to the challenge, realizing they must work together.
How to stay up-to-date with OpenStack releases and the community.
How to get involved to ensure you are aware of the latest developments and contribute what you need to OpenStack.
What will I learn from attending this session?
CSPs, open source projects and vendors alike will learn more about the recent ETSI PlugTest and NIA-commissioned interoperability testing, their results and how to architect full NFV solutions that will work together. Interoperability API tests and associated marks from OpenStack will be covered, as well as features to help stay current on OpenStack releases. Attendees will also hear from Ericsson about a vendor’s point of view, and how other projects such a OPNFV are evolving and expanding in scope to address this challenge.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
