ON.Lab states ONOS Goldeneye release set to further support service provider SDN and NFV deployment plans
The Open Network Lab’s Open Network Operating System project unveiled its seventh release targeting a software-defined networking operating system, dubbed “Goldeneye.”
ONOS said the Goldeneye release includes advances such as improved adaptive flow monitoring and selective DPI from ETRI, claimed to provide lower overhead flow monitoring and Yang tool chain support from Huawei; integration of northbound intent subsystem with the Flow objective subsystem; a six-times improvement in core performance to support consistent distributed operations; and southbound improvements to Cisco IOS NetConf and Yang tool chain. Collaborators on the latest release included AT&T, the Electronics Telecommunications and Research Institute, Fujitsu and Huawei.
“Thanks to the broad range of service providers, industry leaders and developers actively contributing to and developing ONOS, the project is promoting network disruption through open source software and whitebox switches, while providing incremental SDN delivery to support migration and evolve carrier networks,” said Bill Snow, VP of engineering at ON.Lab. “ONOS is the only SDN control plane that can support both disruptive and incremental SDN for service providers.”
The Linux Foundation-hosted organization targets service providers with significant recent work around its central office re-architected as a datacenter initiative. The CORD platform has seen carrier interest from the likes of AT&T, Verizon Communications and SK Telecom, among others. ONOS noted the CORD initiative is designed to “provide economies of scale and agility of cloud computing to the telco central office by leveraging infrastructure constructed from commodity building blocks” using software-defined networking, network functions virtualization and cloud technologies.
