Architecture is not a migration, but hierarchy.
CORD and OCP are constructs within datacenters – deconstruct B-RAS and other systems.
Imperative to differentiate between east-west and north-south requirements. Example: ECMP more related to east-west flows.
Provide context to old school SDN-managed. Show ONOS for SDN-control, and ONAP/OSM for MANO.
New innovating next gen data center designs are immerging in the 1000s
Support the exponential grow of users, devices and applications the coming online.
Lead by Cloud providers like Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Amazon
Deterministic low-latency and high-bandwidth capabilities
Required to ensured services and applications like Video caching, and media processing for augmented or virtual reality, self driving …
Changes are now happening
Enterprises and service providers are starting to adopt the new designs and with it new innovative opportunities emending. It is influencing the last mile landscape and are forcing architectural changes.
Restructuring infrastructure to support for new technologies to come (like 5G).
Disaggregation Architecture
CLOS architecture to replace large chassis based devices
White box switches with Open source to replace expensive Cisco /Juniper derives
Full IP v4/v6 BGP for DC internal connectivity and for SP to DC
ECMP for load balancing and link/node failure protection
VxLAN as an overlay L2 tunneling for connectivity over DC network
eVPN over L3 and L2 VPLS tunneling
100GbE Aggregation services with MEF level end-to-end SLA and OAM
Telemetric and IPFIX for a central SDN malmanagement
Integration with Open flow and Open stack SDN tools
Segment Routing
The source chooses a path (Segment could be MPLS label or IPv6 address)
L3 Multicast
Again: CLOS-based fabric for what?
Detail: vCPE does not relate to a datacenter solution.
Streaming of periodic snapshots of data of interest from one or many nodes
ports, interfaces configuration and operational state changes and packet/byte/error counters
service state changes and counters
Subscription for periodic or on-change updates for specific interfaces/services
Streaming according to Google gRPC/gNMI framework
Collect and organize the streamed data at the server(s)
Run analytic tools, AI. Mine the relevant data, detect problems create actions
Apply actions to one or many nodes by (not limited to)
ACLs blocking flows
Hierarchical traffic QoS shaping / policing
SFP/QSFP TX/RX laser power
Predict ahead the live expectancy of SFP/QSFP and replace them before failure
AT&T 4, 5K
MEC was formerly "mobile-edge computing" but now renamed
"multi-access edge computing"
