This document provides a summary of the OpenDaylight project, including: - What OpenDaylight is and its goals of furthering SDN adoption through an open source platform. - The OpenDaylight community includes over 150 contributors from many organizations working on around 100 commits per week. - The Hydrogen release includes 15 projects and editions for base, virtualization, and service provider functionality. It provides an OpenStack integration through the virtualization edition. - Future work includes model-driven development, clustering, and upstreaming the OpenStack Neutron plugin. The Affinity Management Service is an example project for storing affinity information.

3. What is OpenDaylight
OpenDaylight is an Open Source Software project under the Linux
Foundation with the goal of furthering the adoption and innovation of
Software Defined Networking (SDN) through the creation of a common
industry supported platform
Code
Acceptance
To create a robust,
To get broad industry
extensible, open source acceptance amongst
code base that covers
vendors and users
• using OpenDaylight code
the major common
directly or through vendor
components required to
products
build an SDN solution
•Vendors using OpenDaylight
code as part of commercial
products
Community
To have a thriving and
growing technical
community contributing
to the code base, using
the code in commercial
products, and adding
value above, below and
around.

4. What is OpenDaylight building?
OpenDaylight is an open community that is building:
• An evolvable SDN platform capable of handling diverse
use cases and implementation approaches
•
Common abstractions of capabilities NorthBound for
people to program
•
Intermediation of those capabilities to multiple
Southbound implementations
•
Programmable network services
•
Network applications
•
Whatever else we need to make it work

7. Who is OpenDaylight?
(community)
•
Like any Open Source Project, OpenDaylight primarily
consists of those who show up to do the work
• Currently commits from over 150 contributors from many different
organizations (and unaffiliated individuals) and growing
•
Running around 100 commits per week and accelerating
• Strong integration and testing community

20. OpenStack Integration: Status and Next Steps
• OpenStack Neutron API Service available now in
OpenDaylight
• provides Neutron API handling for multiple
implementations
• Initial ML2 plugin focused on core Neutron functionality
•
L4-L7 service support as a next step
• Plugin planned to be upstreamed into OpenStack Neutron
during the Icehouse release
