Exposing an Openflow swtich abstraction of the satellite segment to Virtual Network Operators

Résumé

For years, Virtual Network Operators (VNOs) are a major player in the satellite communication market landscape. Typically, they repackage services leased from Satellite Network Operators (SNOs) to provide their customers with added-value end-to-end services that mostly go beyond the satellite network and cover terrestrial networks. However, the level of control and visibility that VNOs have on their purchased satellite services (and the underlying satellite resources) is limited mainly because of SNOs' protective policies and the closed nature of satellite devices. From the VNO perspective, this refrains the development of novel satellite communication services and complicates the provision process of the services that they offer to their customers. To address these limitations, this paper proposes and elaborates on the idea of exposing to VNOs, an Openflow based switch abstraction of the satellite segment. The feasibility and the opportunities brought by such an abstraction to VNOs are presented as well as the technical requirements to make it a reality. Insights on how it can be implemented are presented complemented with a proof of concept implementation on the OpenSAND satellite system emulation platform.
