Extending SDN to the Management Plane
summary
Google runs a global network with ~70 POPs and a B4 backbone and finds four million lines of config across heterogeneous gear from six+ vendors. Operators push >30,000 config changes a month, suffer outage-causing mismatches, and lack real-time visibility. The project builds vendor-neutral YANG-based models (topology, config, telemetry), publishes code on GitHub, targets openconfig YANG models with protobuf/JSON encodings, streaming push Telemetry, BGP and routing-policy models live, TE and device meta-models in progress.
