AT&T & OpenDaylight- Brian Freeman
AT&T & OpenDaylight - A Platform for Programmable Service Logic - Brian Freeman, AT&T
http://sched.co/7RFf
A key component of the AT&T Domain 2.0 Architecture is the SDN Controller. Extending beyond packet forwarding, the SDN Controller is the brain that instantiates the networking service logic. AT&T has developed a service logic interpreter as an application on top of Opendaylight to meet the needs for flexible service definition and re-configuration. Using a domain specific language based on Directed Graphs , AT&T has implemented a model driven application on top of the ODL platform that allows us to implement the AT&T controller vision and to enable service designers to create complex solutions within the ECOMP framework. The talk will cover a brief overview of the service logic interpreter language, the graphical development environment for the service logic and examples of AT&T service provider use cases on Opendaylight.
About Brian Freeman
Brian Freeman is a software architect/systems engineer with over 25 years’ experience in emerging service technologies and large system design and delivery. Brian is currently leading the architecture and design efforts for the AT&T Software Defined Network Controller. The SDN Controller platform will be a key part of the AT&T Domain 2. 0 architecture in both implementing new control plane logic into the AT&T network and exposing that control in a robust and secure manner to AT&T's customers. Past experience has ranged from system engineering in centralized control platforms, IP inventory and configuration management, VoIP services, Big Data Analytics, Cable subscriber management systems and AT&T U-Verse end to end service path management.Brian received his BS in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and MS in in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers.
