 So here's the fairer slab here the arm booth and who are you? Hi, my name is Florenda Mitrashko I work for INEA and here in the arm booth at the Mobile World Congress We are showing a demonstration of a Faro's reference lab. What is INEA? INEA is a company based in Sweden and it has been in the telecoms business for quite some time they are they have created one of the Real-time operating systems which is widely used in the telecoms today But now they are actually involved in the open source and the network function virtualization initiative and Today here in the arm booth INEA is showing an implementation of an opium ev reference lab So what is an opium ev reference lab? It's an open source project INEA provides a platform based on open source components where TMS and network operators can implement and test virtual network functions So you test an applied micro-cavium. Can we see the different ones you have? Yes, so in this lab we are using arm targets, arm V8 targets, applied micro-servers and the network servers installed in a reference lab for opium ev MD applied micro-cavium Currently we are in the lab using those two APM and KVM And soon this and we have this in another instance of the lab we are just building now Where's your lab? The lab is based in Sista in the Red Waters of INEA That's in Sweden. In Sweden, yes So I will walk you over our demo. So the reference lab is comprised of three controller nodes and two compute nodes running an open-stab We are building here the opium ev platform running an open-stab, an open daylight for an MDV virtualization solution These are the targets, KVM and the applied micro Virtualization acceleration is done by KVM So it's open source and virtual networking is open V-switch So again open source and then here is our small demo It's an orchestration application which basically creates a service chain. That's the key word in NFB It's a service chain and The service chain is actually using a third-party DNF doing deep packet inspection for a company called Cosmo So Really what we have used here So what is this? You have an interface into the lab shown here where you can configure the nodes that we use Configure the network interfaces and then very easily basically hit deploy and this Interface is automating the process of deploying open-stab and open daylight. It makes it really easy for someone who wants to use the infrastructure to deploy open-stab and open daylight and then you're basically ready to use your DNF applications So this is a This is running on your system. So this is running currently on our ARM servers in Shista Lab So what exactly they're doing like that using all the hard drive the CPU Here you can see the controller nodes are applied modules. You can see here applied modules And then Compute nodes They are KDM networks. You can see them here Our system is already deployed here. You see the system is ready to use And then how do you use it? Basically You have an interface in open-stab Where you can see our virtual plans is running and the virtual networks created. This is typical open-stab interface and then we have an interface into the SDN controller which uses open flow protocol to basically create the virtual networks and Then there is a small application we created Used to create a service chain instance and There's just a very simple demo showing the application running. So this is A traffic running from one end to the other in the service chain and right here on the right-hand side It's an interface the DGI deep-flag inspection virtual functions and you can just interact with it This is HTTP traffic. So we can show that We will drop it. Traffic stopped working now And I will just put it back and you will see that traffic coming back Are you using an Armored Chrome bit here? Yeah. Yeah, that's good. All right This is a Chrome that is just just a bunch of browser windows Everything. This is all Chrome So really what the purpose basically is we focused on the infrastructure We have the Faros lab infrastructure, which is an open lab platform So we are basically encouraging anyone who wants to try VNF applications to see how they perform on Arm targets the lab is open and Upon request we can provide access to anyone who has more complex VNF applications And they want to test them on our platform. So you work on the ARM server yourself You work on the arm solutions. I have worked with Aynia to deploy Open a V platform on the ARM servers. Yes. So how is it to work on this? How do you like it? Is it interesting? Yeah, and challenging as well. We had support from the OpenMV open source ecosystem. We have support from the vendors from KVM, from Applied Micro, from Linaro, and from Linaro as well. So when everything When all the efforts are joined really things get moving forward. So It's a bit challenging, you know, to catch up with the other ecosystem that's on the market. So how is it compared to what you were doing before? What were you doing before? Before I also worked in the, let's say, SDN domain and close to the NFV. So before of this I was working in a startup building an optical switch. On X86? Not really. That was a that was a TEM basically building an optical switch. So I think that was a you know, it was a power PC, Marvel, something else. All right. So is this is already working and how far is it from being used by all the people in this industry everywhere? Yes. So today the FaroSlab show here is open. We are still we are working on building our second FaroSlab such as We can continue our development work on one of the FaroSlab and leave the other one completely open for everyone to use. But today we still allow other companies to use our lab for instance. Invited guests. KVM for instance can today use our lab to to help us working and and work on KVM targets. And we are working with other companies as well coming into place. So slowly this will become completely open and like the other FaroSlabs that are deployed today. So do you think in 2016 all these guys are going to be using ARM servers? Or is it going to take more and more work? It's going to take some work, but it really depends on how open and And the collaborative the ecosystem will be because it's really about an ecosystem like like like in the Intel market today So if all the partners will get together in this effort, we should really be able to see real applications running on ARM targets in one year or two. It's a very big project to it's basically a re-architecture of the whole networking system, right? Well, that's the whole view of NFV. Yes That's something that's happening today and ARM needs to be part of it because that's basically the future. Without NFV and without ARM it wouldn't be possible to have all these people connected to the internet. Definitely ARM has a big part to play here and this is going to happen. A big part of the solution for better future? Yes, and for better, you know, more efficient interconnected networks.
