TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Hemid, Ahmad T1 - Facilitation of The OpenDaylight Architecture T2 - 4th Computer Science Conference for University of Bonn Students (CSCUBS). Bonn, May 17, 2017 N2 - OpenDaylight (ODL) is a commercial, collaborative, open-source platform to accelerate the adoption and innovation of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Visualization. This paper describes the novel ODL architecture in a simplified way to grasp a better understanding of such architecture. ODL architecture intends to foster new innovation and accelerate adoption of programming the network. The innovation of Model-Driven Service Abstraction Layer (MD-SAL) in the architecture leads to developing models for automatic management and configuration of the networks. MD-SAL provides ODL with the ability to support any protocol talking to the network elements as well as any network application. The flexibility inherent in ODL architecture could enable ODL to shape the next generation networks. KW - NETCONF KW - OpenFlow KW - YANG KW - SDN KW - OpenDaylight Y1 - 2017 ER -
