Lyngby DENMARK i i i i i \main_BA" | 2018/3/29 | 9:37 | page ii | #2 i i i i i i i i \main_BA" | 2018/3/29 | 9:37 | page i | #3 i i i Abstract This thesis seeks to leverage SDN and NFV technologies to enable scalable, high performance, resilient and cost effective Fixed-Mobile Convergence (FMC) on three separate segments: access/aggregation, inter but also in- tra data center (DC) networks for distributed Next Generation Points of Presence (NG-POP - the location in the operator infrastructure centralizing the IP edge for all access types). From a structural stand point, shared access/aggregation for data trans- port solutions (i.e., low latency optical cross connects and Wavelength Di- vision Multiplexed-Passive Optical Networks) are proposed, evaluated and assessed for compatibility with the stringent bandwidth, latency and jitter requirements for baseband mobile, fixed and Wi-Fi services. Functional convergence is achieved by integrating universal network functions like Au- thentication, Data Path Management, content caching inside the NG-POP with the help of SDN and NFV techniques. Comprehensive convergence is demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, through the study of a series of use cases highlighting the FMC impact on user experience: seamless authentication and roaming through various network access points (i.e., Wi-Fi, mobile, fixed) as well as improved QoS and network utilization through content caching. To provide survivability for NG-POPs, Network Function live migration with zero downtime is demonstrated as a prevention mechanism for infrastructure failure. High performance scalable DCs are required by NG-POPs for providing services like content caching, multi-tenancy support, customer applications among others. To develop compatible, cost effective DC solutions, we in- vestigate new high radix DC topologies (i.e., hypercube, fat tree, torus, jellyfish) as well as optimizing control plane operations by adopting SDN. We demonstrate that, for a high performing topology like hypercube, SDN can achieve a 45% throughput increase, as opposed to conventional Span- ning Tree Protocol. i i i i i i \main_BA" | 2018/3/29 | 9:37 | page ii | #4 i i i ii Abstract Optimizing elastic optical network control plane for DC connections, is another aspect investigated in this work. We propose a modular scal- able flexi-grid optical domain controller based on Finite State Machines and a NETCONF/YANG standard northbound interface. The modular structure allows either a centralized or a distributed deployment for on the fly encrypted device management connections. Controller evaluation over networks ranging from 1 to 64 ROADMs show a relatively constant start up and synchronization time in both deployments. These results, together with a modest log scale growth of media channel set up time, validate the scalability of our controller. i i i i i \main_BA" | 2018/3/29 | 9:37 | page iii | #5 i i i Resum´e Denne afhandling sigter mod at udnytte SDN og NFV teknologier til at muliggøre skalerbar, høj ydeevne, robust og omkostningseffektiv Fixed- Mobile Convergence (FMC) p˚atre separate segmenter: adgang / aggregering, inter og intra data center (DC) netværk til distribuerede Next Generation Points of Presence (NG-POP - placeringen i operatørinfrastrukturen der centraliserer IP-kanten for alle adgangstyper). Fra et strukturelt standpunkt foresl˚as,vurderes og valideres fælles adgangs / aggregeringstransportløsninger (dvs. optisk krydsforbindelser med lav la- tency og bølgelængde-division Multiplexede-Passive Optiske Netværk) som er kompatible med de stringente b˚andbredde-,latency- og jitterkrav for baseband mobile, fastnet og Wi-Fi-tjenester. Funktionel konvergens opn˚as ved at integrere universelle netværks funktioner s˚asom autentificering, Data vejs Management og indholds caching inde i NG-POP ved hjælp af SDN og NFV teknikker. Omfattende konvergens demonstreres for første gang, ifølge vores viden, gennem en række bruger tilfælde, der fremhæver FMC's indvirkning p˚abrugeroplevelsen: sømløs godkendelse og roaming gennem forskellige netværksadgangspunkter (dvs. Wi-Fi, mobil, fast) samt forbedret QoS og netværksudnyttelse gennem indholds caching. For at give overlevelsesevne til NG-POP'er, demonstreres en netværksfunktion med nulstilling og uden nedetid, som en forebyggende mekanisme for infrastruk- turfejl. Højtydende skalerbare DC'er er p˚akrævet af NG-POP'er for at levere tjenester som indholds-caching, multi-forbruger og kundeapplikationer mv. For at udvikle kompatible, omkostningseffektive DC-løsninger undersøger vi nye høj-radix DC-topologier (dvs. hypercube, fat tree, torus, jellyfish) samt optimering af kontrolplanoperationer ved at implementere SDN. Vi demonstrerer at SDN, for en højtydende topologi som f.eks. hypercube, kan opn˚aen 45% gennemstrømningsforøgelse i modsætning til den konven- tionelle Spanning Tree Protocol. iii i i i i i \main_BA" | 2018/3/29 | 9:37 | page iv | #6 i i i iv Resum´e Optimering af et elastisk optisk netværkskontrolplan for DC-forbindelser, er et andet aspekt, der undersøges i dette arbejde. Vi foresl˚aren mod- ulær skalerbar flexi-grid optisk domæne controller baseret p˚aFinite State Machines og en NETCONF / YANG standard for nordg˚aendegrænse- flader. Den modulære struktur tillader enten en centraliseret eller en dis- tribueret implementering for krypterede enhedsadministrationsforbindelser. Evaluering af kontrolmekanismen, over netværk, der spænder fra 1 til 64 ROADM'er, viser en forholdsvis konstant opstarts- og synkroniseringstid p˚aca. 920 ms for den centrale og 1150 ms for den distribuerede imple- mentering. Disse resultater, sammen med en beskeden log-skala vækst af mediekanalers opsætningstid, validerer skalerbarhden af vores controller. i i i i i \main_BA" | 2018/3/29 | 9:37 | page v | #7 i i i Acknowledgements This thesis is based on the achievement of my research within the depart- ment of Photonics Engineering, Technical University of Denmark and with ADVA Optical Networking SE in Martinsried/Munich, Germany.
