    This document provides an overview of advanced data network solutions using Linux. It discusses intent-based networking, software-defined networking, and Lumen Network's history implementing Linux-based network control software and data plane appliances. The software is built on Linux and uses its capabilities for tasks like packet switching, control plane APIs, and high-performance optical systems. Implementation highlights how Linux principles are applied for network resource management using technologies like Android Binder and a multi-threaded microkernel design. Areas of interest in open source networking projects using Linux are also mentioned.

    Linux Meet Up

    July 2017
    Agenda

    w Introductions
    w Definition of Terms
    w Recent History
    w Network Implementations
    w What are we doing with Linux?
    w Areas of Interest
    w Summary

    2
    Introductions

    w A little about Me
    w Discussion about a real world Linux solution
    w Something for everyone in this technology stack

    3
    Definition of Terms
    w Intent-based (network) requests
    • It’s the “what” that is desired to be accomplished
    • The “how” is determined by the network control software
    • Example, I want to connect Server A in Data Center B to Storage C in Data Center D
    - with a guaranteed 10G and lowest latency path
    • Software automation can dynamically compute new paths and install without interruption
    - Resource policy changes
    - Resource outage, removal, addition
    w Software Defined Network
    • First used in 2009 to precisely indicate a completely separated control and data forwarding
    plane
    • All decision making is performed/initiated from the logically centralized control software
    • Now term has only the “I’ve done something with software” meaning
    w Other terms defined as we discuss

    4
    (Recent) History
    w Stanford Clean Slate program
    • Started about 2007 (based upon Casado 2005 thesis)
    • Lumen joined the party in 2009
    • ONF, ONS, other professional organizations
    w Virtualization concepts and software switching
    • Virtualization dates back to IBM VM/CMS (1972)
    • SDN-inspired Open vSwitch(OVS)
    • Focus discussion on contemporary implementations
    w Lumen History

    6
    Network Implementations
    w “Legacy” networks
    • Spanning Tree
    • OSPF, RIP, BGP
    • DiffServ (QoS)
    - 11 RFCs for traffic flow
    - 3 RFCs for management
    - Still not a successful end-to-end solution
    • Lots of control traffic in data plane
    w SDN Programmable networks
    • Logically centralized
    • Data forwarding devices do not exchange control information
    • No control traffic in data plane
    • First applications were security focused
