Presented at the 2013 OpenStack Summit in Hong Kong. Authors: Stephan Baucke, Kyle Mestery, Anees Shaikh, Chris Wright OpenDaylight is an exciting new community-led, open source project focused on accelerating adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) by providing a robust SDN platform on which the industry can build and innovate. An OpenDaylight controller provides flexible management of both physical and virtual networks. The open source nature of the project and its flexible network management capabilities make it an ideal SDN platform to integrate with Neutron. In this session, OpenDaylight community members from Cisco, IBM, RedHat, and Ericsson will describe the OpenDaylight project goals and platform architecture, as well as the roadmap and progress to date. OpenDaylight brings together a number of virtual networking approaches, and we will discuss integration approaches with OpenStack Neutron that provide flexibility for OpenStack administrators and users. Details of our initial Neutron integration will also be demonstrated for attendees. Attendees will leave this session with a greater understanding of what OpenDaylight is, and how it can integrate with OpenStack Neutron to provide a powerful SDN-based networking solution for OpenStack Clouds.

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 90 contributors from many different
organizations (and unaffiliated individuals) and growing
•
Running around 100 commits per week and accelerating
• Strong integration and testing community
