Abstract

Existing networks are based on equipment that is a monolithic physical elements. Each element of the network has features that depend on the manufacturer. This does not allow telecom operators to make changes to equipment functions, to flexibly operate resources and quickly introduce new services. The use of SDN technology can significantly increase efficiency by centralizing management and virtualizing the functions of network elements. At the same time, operators have the opportunity to independently develop applications, which significantly speeds up the process of providing new services to users. The paper shows that when implementing SDN, it is necessary to ensure compatibility with existing networks using legacy management technologies based on operations support systems (OSS). It should be possible to include a person in the control loop - an operator who will take part in solving poorly structured network management tasks that are not amenable to automation. The tasks that the SDN network management plane should solve are described. The requirements for the architecture of ONOS are formulated, which is proposed to be built in the form of a modular, symmetrical, distributed system. A mathematical model is proposed for predicting the required SDN network resource using standard network indicators: incoming load, QoS, throughput. The model allows solving the problem of forming a load distribution plan with given QoS indicators.
