2 At Spirent Communications we help the world communicate and collaborate faster, better and more often. The world's leading communications companies rely on Spirent to help design, develop and deliver world-class network, devices and services. Today, we are helping to validate the first deployments of Software Defined Networks in Asia, Americas, and EMEA. An early supporter of SDN initiatives, such as OpenFlow and OpenDaylight, Brocade is helping organizations realize the promise of open SDN through tested, carrier-grade products that support collaborative development and self-service innovation.

3 Benchmarking the SDN Brocade Vyatta Spirent OpenFlow Switch Emulation Quality assured edition of OpenDaylight controller Works with both Virtual and Physical network SDN devices that are from multiple vendors High scale, high performance, robust platform Gives user the ability to choose networking platforms independently of network architectural needs Supports rapid service design, development, and teardown Supports interfaces from 1G to 100G and Virtual platform High scale emulation switches per port Switch to Packet-In testing at large scale Connection monitoring, Flow Add validation at scale Validates your SDN at scale as your customers

4 Benchmarking the SDN Business Value Allows for testing your SDN network at the scale of planned deployment CapEx Reduction Test at scale with Spirent TestCenter or Virtual Spirent TestCenter already in most labs Virtual will work on existing Hypervisor No physical switches required cabling reduced OpEx Reduction Quickly setup configuration with quick wizard interface No cabling hassles, all is virtual Fully automated Master Slave

5 Benchmarking the SDN Technology Value Accelerates Deployment of SDN controllers and applications with confidence using large scale OpenFlow Switch Emulation under heavy load Supports interfaces from 1G to 100G and Virtual platform Supports OpenFlow versions 1.3x and 1.0.x Automation Support (REST) via script and GUI Command Sequencer for interactive benchmarking test Master Slave Used by Vyatta: Fully tested version of the OpenDaylight controller the industry s leading open-source SDN controller

6 Benchmarking the SDN Demo Will emulate multiple large networks with various topologies Show ease of configuration and setup time Will connect the topology to the Vyatta controller Show all connections are up and stable Vyatta controller will add Flows for network Display and show all flows on all switches The hosts on the Switches will start to send network traffic to the Vyatta controller at various loads Traffic from all Switch's in parallel counters / rates ARPs, Pings, L2, and L3 Monitor all connections at max peak to verify stability Master Slave

7 Benchmarking the SDN Summary Shows the ease of use and importance of testing at scale Allows SDN controller and application developers to quickly find problems that may have otherwise been found by their customers in production Allows for optimization with large networks Master Slave Proves that Brocade s Vyatta SDN controller: Is a quality assured edition High Scale, High Performance, Robust Platform
