This presentation is about Introduction to Opendaylight and Integration between Opendaylight and Openstack It is originally presented in SRM University SDN workshop

1. Introduction to
Opendaylight
Beny Raja
Cloud System Engineer

2. About me
● Working in the Virtualization Technology for the past 7
years and presently with CD CloudEnablers Pvt Ltd,
Chennai since 2014
● Currently focusing on NFV - SDN App analysis and
integrations for Campus and Datacenter networks
● Active member of Openstack India Meetup group and
presented a talk in the Chennai Meetup last year
● Having hands-on experience on public and private cloud
deployments with various distributions

3. SDN Controller
● SDN Controller is an application
in software-defined networking
(SDN) that manages flow
control to enable intelligent
networking
● They are based on protocols,
such as OpenFlow, that allow
servers to tell switches where to
send packets

4. List of SDN Controllers
Opensource SDN controllers
● Opendaylight
● OpenContrail
● Floodlight
● Ryu
● FlowVisor
● Beacon
● vneio/sdnc
● Cherry

5. List of SDN Controllers
Proprietary SDN Controllers
● Brocade SDN Controller
● Midokura
● Juniper Contrail
● HP VAN SDN Controller
● Blue Planet
● BigSwitch
● Nuage VSC
● VortiQa

6. What is Opendaylight
● OpenDaylight is a collaborative, open source project to advance
software-Defined Networking
● It is hosted by The Linux Foundation
● It is written in Java
● It runs on JVM, hence potentially it can run on any operating
system
● It delivers a common platform for SDN across the industry
● The goal of this project is to accelerate the adoption of SDN

7. Opendaylight Consortium

8. Opendaylight Releases
Opendaylight Releases are named after by the “Periodic Table of
Elements”
● Hydrogen - February, 2014
● Helium - October, 2014
● Lithium - June, 2015
● Beryllium - February, 2016 (Latest Release)
