The SDN Controller for Global Networks
Designed to solve the problem of implementing a distributed SDN control plane with a network that spans the Globe. OpenKilda solves the problem of latency while providing a scalable SDN control & data-plane and end-to-end flow telemetry.
Web-Scale SDN Controller
OpenKilda is a scalable SDN Controller, architected from the ground up from web-scale technologies. OpenKilda solves the scalability challenge other SDN controllers face and was built to manage unreliable control plane which can traverse across multiple carriers over long distances.
OpenKilda Key Features
What does OpenKilda do?
Designing for a Global network requires that both the data-plane and control plane can scale. OpenKilda is in commercial deployment and new features are constantly being added:
Scale
OpenKilda was designed to control up to a 10,000 switch network with 16 million flows
Telemetry
OpenKilda provides stats collection and visualization to help you manage your global network
Network State
Multiple data-points are collected for comprehensive end-to-end network state
Path Computation Engine
OpenKilda includes a Path Computation Engine (PCE) that deals with dynamic customer provisioning
Self Healing
Allows your network to automatically recover from equipment and link failures
Graphical User Interface
OpenKilda includes a graphical interface to configuration, telemetry and state monitoring
