Abstract

The OpenDaylight controller has been receiving significant attention as one of the enabling open source framework for SDN, and this paper analyzes the architecture and procedure of OpenDaylight based controller cluster. The OpenDaylight controller cluster uses shard based distributed datastore and Raft algorithm to maintain consistency among controllers inside a cluster. The performance evaluation analyzes the leader re-election time as well as latencies of CRUD and Routed RPC according to cluster size, shard role, and sharding strategy, and we discuss the optimal operation strategy for OpenDaylight controller cluster.

본 논문에서는 최근 많은 관심과 집중을 받고 있는 SDN 분야 오픈 소스 프레임워크인 오픈데이라이트 컨트롤러를 중심으로 컨트롤러 클러스터 구조 및 동작방식에 대하여 분석한다. 오픈데이라이트 컨트롤러 클러스터에서는 컨트롤러 간 데이터 스토어의 동기화를 위하여 분산 샤드 구조 및 샤드 리더 선정을 위한 Raft 알고리즘을 적용하고 있다. 성능 분석에서는 컨트롤러 클러스터 크기, 샤드 역할, 샤드 정책에 따른 CRUD, Routed RPC 지연시간 및 리더 재선정 지연시간 등을 분석함으로써, 오픈데이라이트 컨트롤러 클러스터 운영 시의 최적 운영 방안을 논의한다.
