Use Cases
��� Bandwidth calendaring: calendar bandwidth elastically anytime
 Premium path: constraint-based path optimization on latency, link
utilization, nodal count, etc …
 Elastic TE bin packing: efficiently distribute traffic flows elastically
across the network
 Path diversity: eliminate shared risk link groups
 Maintenance mode: continuous traffic optimization while
maintaining SLAs during maintenance windows
 Autonomous Optimization: continuously compute new optimized
paths
NorthStar Controller
• JUNOS: proven service provider OS
• Built upon 25 years of proven network optimization algorithms
• Predictability centralized traffic engineering
• Open standards-based protocols and programmable APIs
1. Topology discovery –
IGP, BGP (JUNOS OS)
2. Path computation –
WANDL algorithms
3. Path installation - PCEP

Programming
• NorthStar provides the programmable forwarding plane
• Packet layer is directly programmable
• Network Hypervisor makes Optical layer programmable
Resource Virtualization
• Network Hypervisor abstracts the network into slices
Function Virtualization
• Local Hypervisor abstracts NE compute, storage
resources into virtual machines
• Applications deployed in DC and Network by
Orchestration
• Service chaining requires programming forwarding plane

• Abstract Links reflect diversity of server network
• Server network connections may share fate
• Multiple wavelengths which share the same fiber
• Path computations in client network may require diversity
• Abstract links must expose fate sharing of server
network connections
• Shared risk link groups (SRLGs)
• Integer annotations to TE links, identifying fate-sharing
groups
• SRLGs are per-layer/domain, must be coordinated
• Path computation considers annotations as constraints
• If paths are SRLG-diverse, guaranteed to not share fate
