AtlanticWave-SDX 2.0: Improving network services for Major Facilities and R&E networks

The AtlanticWave-SDX 2.0 project, is set to demonstrate its cutting-edge platform for dynamic, policy-driven cross-domain network orchestration at the SuperComputing 2024 (SC24) Conference. This innovative system enables seamless service provisioning across research and education (R&E) networks through its SDX Controller, which integrates with local controllers, a path computation engine, and domain managers. The demo will highlight user-friendly provisioning via multiple interfaces, including REST APIs, MEICAN, and Python-based SDXLib. Attendees will witness capabilities like L2VPN provisioning, path reprovisioning, and integration with the FABRIC testbed, showcasing AtlanticWave-SDX’s potential to enhance automation, resiliency, and efficiency in modern network environments.

We will show the implementation of user interface integration with MEICAN and The SDXLib on Jupiter Notebook, our user-friendly configuration interfaces that provide an intuitive way to manage and monitor network services.

Join us at SC24 for AtlanticWave-SDX 2.0 demo as we explore the future of automation, efficient network orchestration, and simplified user control:

Title:  AtlanticWave SDX 2.0: Dynamic Cross-Domain Network Orchestration and User-Friendly Provisioning for Major Facilities and R&E Networks

Abstract: The Atlantic Wave Software Defined Exchange SDX 2.0 project, NSF award #OAC-2029278, introduces a powerful platform for dynamic, policy-driven, cross-domain network orchestration and service provisioning across research and education networks. The presentation will focus on the SDX Controller, which is the central point of the AW-SDX system, coordinating with the Local Controllers (LC), the Data Model, the Path Computation Engine (PCE), and domain managers such as Kytos and OESS. The SDX Controller’s tasks include

• Collecting domain topology from all Local Controllers
• Assembling a global network topology
• Handling user end-to-end connection requests
• Computing optimal paths via the Path Computation Engine (PCE)
• Distribute connection requests to the appropriate local controller
