Titel
Automated multi-swarm networking with open baton NFV MANO framework
Abstract
Container-based Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and multi-site/multi-cluster service orchestration are a critical topic in the field of ICT infrastructure. Academia, Industry and Open Source projects are actively working on the technology. With the trends, Open Baton, an implementation of the ETSI NFV MANO Reference Architecture, started efforts to orchestrate network services over multiple Docker Swarm clusters. To achieve that, Open Baton would require an additional feature to configure an overlay networking over multiple swarm clusters, since Docker Swarm does not support multi-cluster service. In this paper, we discuss our design and implementation of the Multi-Swarm Networking Helper in Open Baton, which configures an L2 overlay networking over multiple Docker Swarm clusters by leveraging on a third-party Docker networking driver.
