Umbrella: A Unified Software Defined Development Framework
Douglas Comer, Rajas H. Karandikar, Adib Rastegarnia
TL;DR
Umbrella is a unified framework that standardizes Northbound APIs across SDN controllers, enabling vendor-independent application development and simplifying SDN programming.
Contribution
It introduces a unified development framework that consolidates diverse NB APIs, reducing dependency on specific controllers and facilitating easier SDN application programming.
Findings
Preliminary results show improved API consistency.
Framework simplifies SDN application development.
Potential for vendor-agnostic SDN solutions.
Abstract
The Northbound (NB) APIs that SDN controllers provide differ in terms of architecture, syntax, naming convention, data resources, and usage. Using NB APIs to write SDN applications makes each application dependent on the API of a specific controller. To bring NB APIs from different vendors under one umbrella and make programming of SDN applications independent of specific controllers, we propose a unified software defined development framework that we call Umbrella. This paper presents the key components of the software and reports some preliminary results.
