Workshop on Prototyping and Deploying Software Defined Exchanges
Chip Elliott, BBN / GENIJune 5, 2014
Workshop Goals
• Follow-on to December 2013 workshop• Develop prototypes / deployment strategies– Software Defined Exchanges (SDXs)– for multi-domain Software Defined Networks (SDNs)– and Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI)
• We expect national / regional deployment of experimental SDXs of varying capabilities(e.g. ‘n’ instances as per December workshop)
Early days for “SDX”
Agreeing on One or More SDX Models
• “Near-term” SDX – pure connectivity– Layer 3 (IP) – e.g. connect AS’s– Layer 2 (Ethernet) – e.g. multi-domain circuits– SDN – connect SDN islands
• “Advanced” SDX – with compute/storage– Connect SDI islands– Compute / storage / network– GENI as an early instance
Workshop Charge
• For both “Near-term” and “Advanced” SDXs . . .• Create slides to form the basis for a workshop report– One or more conceptual SDX architectures– SDX functionality, ideally with one or more exemplar
applications– Identify key issues (e.g. trust, authentication,
authorization, interoperability, testing)– Specify staged set of research / prototyping activities– Provide strawman plan, with level of effort, for
experimenting with national scale SDX deployment
Agenda
• Today (now till 6 PM)– Initial presentations– Two break-outs (Near-term, Advanced) that will each create
slides as above– Reconvene for both presentations / discussion– Break out again for further refinement
• Tomorrow (8:30 – 1:00)– Convene for revised presentations / discussion– Break out to finalize slides– Reconvene for final presentations / discussion– Call for Volunteers
“Advanced SDXs”
and Software Defined Infrastructure
(my perspective)
Where I am coming from - GENI
We’re building out GENI through universities across the US

Slices and deep programmabilityInstall the software I want throughout my network slice(into firewalls, routers, clouds, …)
And keep my slice isolated from your slice,so we don’t interfere with each other
We can run many different “future internets” in parallel
Slices span many organizational boundaries
Goals: avoid technology “lock in,” add new technologies as they mature, and potentially grow quickly by incorporating existing infrastructure into the overall “GENI ecosystem”

Rapidly create entire “sliced”cyberinfrastructure / networks on demand
Fast spin new protocols, switching strategies, virtual machines

Instantiating services into slices
• Soon each switching point will beable to sustain 10,000 – 100,000 slices
• Can run arbitrary software in each slice
• Decoupling of “service” from infrastructure
Thousands ofparallel slices
“Advanced SDX”
• A) Slice peering point –– Where slices cross administrative domains– An inter-cloud meeting point– But not just connectivity . . .– . . . also includes“for rent” (multi-tenant) compute /
storage in addition to connectivity• B) Service deployment point– Great place to instantiate certain kinds of service, e.g.,
middle boxes, load balancers, measurement, content delivery, video translation, etc.
