Software Defined Networking (Sdn) With Openstack

Leverage the best SDN technologies for your OpenStack based cloud infrastructureAbout This Book* Learn how to leverage critical SDN technologies for OpenStack Networking APIs via plugins and drivers* Champion the skills of achieving complete SDN with OpenStack with specific use cases and capabilities only covered in this title* Discover exactly how could you implement cost-effective OpenStack SDN integration for your organizationWho This Book Is ForAdministrators, and cloud operators who would like to implement Software Defined Networking on OpenStack clouds. Some prior experience of network infrastructure and networking concepts is assumed.What you will learn* Understand how OVS is used for Overlaying networks* Get familiar with SDN Controllers with Architectural details and functionalities* Create core ODL services and understand how SDN works within ODL context* Explore more about OpenContrail, Overlay Networks and Orchestration* Create core OpenContrail services and understand how SDN works within ODL context* Learn techniques to trace the Packet to SDN Controller* Install and configure OVN for OpenStack NetworkingIn DetailNetworking is one the pillars of OpenStack and OpenStack Networking are designed to support programmability and Software-Defined Networks. OpenStack Networking has been evolving from simple APIs and functionality in Quantum to more complex capabilities in Neutron.Armed with the basic knowledge, this book will help the readers to explore three popular SDN technologies, namely, Open Virtual Network (OVN), Open Contrail and Open Daylight (ODL). The first couple of chapters will provide an overview of OpenStack Networking and SDN in general. Thereafter a set of chapters are devoted to Open Virtual Network (OVN), Open Daylight (ODL) and their networking services in OpenStack. The readers will also get to know about Open Virtual Network, an extension to Open vSwitch, which provides a new network virtualization project that brings SDN constructs to the Open vSwitch.By the end of the book, the readers will be familiar with SDN technologies and know how they can be leveraged in an OpenStack based cloud.
