Abstract

An important research challenge about the traditional Internet environment is to enable open networking architecture on which end users are able to innovate the Internet based on the technologies of network programmability, virtualization, and federation. The SDN (Software Defined Network) technology that includes OpenFlow protocol specifications, is suggested as a major driver for the open networking architecture, and is closely coupled with the classical Internet (non-SDN). Therefore, it is very important to keep the integrated SDN and non-SDN network infrastructure reliable from the view point of network operators and engineers. Under this background, this paper proposes an operations and management framework for the combined software defined network environment across not only a single-domain network, but also multi-domain networks. The suggested framework is designed to allow SDN controllers and DvNOC systems to interact with each other to achieve sustainable end-to-end user-oriented SDN and non-SDN integrated network environment. Plus, the proposed scheme is designed to apply enhanced functionalities on DvNOC to support four major network failure scenarios over the combined network infrastructure, mainly derived from SDN controllers, SDN devices, and the connected network paths.

전통적인 인터넷의 연구과제 중 하나는 연구자가 개방형 네트워크를 이용하여 직접 프로그래머빌리티, 망 가상화, 페더레이션 등의 기술을 기반으로 인터넷을 혁신할 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 흔히 오픈플로우 프로토콜로 대변되는 소프트웨어 정의 네트워크(SDN) 환경은 이러한 개방형 네트워크를 위한 핵심 기술 중 하나로 제안되었고, 기존 인터넷(non-SDN)과 이더넷 계층에서 밀접하게 연결될 수 있다. 따라서 non-SDN과 SDN이 통합된 네트워크 환경이 대두되었고, 네트워크 운영자 입장에서는 전통적 인터넷 인프라와 혁신적 SDN 인프라를 통합하여 안정적으로 운영 및 관리해야 하는 새로운 이슈가 발생하였다. 이런 측면에서 본 논문은 하나의 네트워크 도메인뿐만 아니라 다중 도메인에서 SDN과 non-SDN 인프라의 운영과 관리를 통합적으로 수행할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다. 제안된 프레임워크는 분산 가상형 네트워크 운영센터(DvNOC) 환경을 바탕으로 하며, DvNOC 시스템과 SDN 콘트롤러를 상호 연동함으로써 지속 가능한 종단 간(end-to-end) 사용자 기반 네트워크 운영 및 관리를 가능케 하도록 설계되었다. 또한, 제안된 통합운영관리 구조는 SDN 장비, SDN 콘트롤러, 연결 네트워크 등에서 발생 가능한 네 가지 주요 장애 시나리오를 지원할 수 있도록 보다 향상된 DvNOC의 기능을 제공한다.
