This work demonstrates a hierarchical control plane architecture for Software Defined Networking (SDN)-based Segment Routing (SR) in multi-domain networks. An orchestrator application, on top of multiple open source SDN controllers, creates a hierarchical control plane architecture using northbound RESTFul APIs of controllers. The orchestrator has control, visibility and traffic engineering capabilities to manage multi-domain SR service creation. Standard southbound interfaces with proper SR extensions are exploited to manage SR tunnels in the MPLS data plane.

Abstract

This work demonstrates a hierarchical control plane architecture for Software Defined Networking (SDN)-based Segment Routing (SR) in multi-domain networks. An orchestrator application, on top of multiple open source SDN controllers, creates a hierarchical control plane architecture using northbound RESTFul APIs of controllers. The orchestrator has control, visibility and traffic engineering capabilities to manage multi-domain SR service creation. Standard southbound interfaces with proper SR extensions are exploited to manage SR tunnels in the MPLS data plane.
