What is PRISM SDN Router?
|
PRISM stands for Perfect Routing protocol integration with SDN using MUL controller. As the name suggests PRISM's main objective is to run any legacy control plane using SDN/Openflow interface on any set of switches. The main feature which sets PRISM apart is the fact it runs one control plane instance irrespective of number of switches. Also, switches need not be directly connected and can have intermediate non-SDN L2 or L3 switches.
The end-goal is to provide game-changing flexibility of creating on-demand routing and forwarding entities with open interfaces for use across data-centers, enterprise or campus networks. Users will have the flexibility to operate normal Linux networking commands for L3 as well as L2 (vlan/lag) without the need to dig into the number of devices, software or hardware make of devices as well as proprietary CLIs of legacy devices.
