ONOS-HAC: Security-Mode Open Network Operating System with Host-level Access Control

What is ONOS?

ONOS is a new SDN network operating system designed for high availability, performance, scale-out.

Top-Level Features

• High availability through clustering and distributed state management.
• Scalability through clustering and sharding of network device control.
• Performance that is good for a first release, and which has an architecture that will continue to support improvements.
• Northbound abstractions for a global network view, network graph, and application intents.
• Pluggable southbound for support of OpenFlow and new or legacy protocols.
• Graphical user interface to view multi-layer topologies and inspect elements of the topology.
• REST API for access to Northbound abstractions as well as CLI commands.
• CLI for debugging.
• Support for both proactive and reactive flow setup.
• SDN-IP application to support interworking with traditional IP networks controlled by distributed routing protocols such as BGP.
• IP-Optical use case demonstration.
