Description

ONOS, a SDN network operating system for service provider and mission critical networks, was open sourced on Dec 5th, 2014. ONOS delivers a highly available, scalable SDN control plane featuring northbound and southbound abstractions and interfaces for a diversity of management, control, service applications and network devices. ONOS ecosystem comprises of ON.Lab, organizations who are funding and contributing to the ONOS initiative including AT&T, NTT Communications, SK Telecom, Ciena, Cisco, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Huawei, Intel, NEC.

About the speaker

Ali Al-Shabibi is a software architect at Open Networking Lab where he maintains FlowVisor and OpenVirteX (network hypervisors) and is a core developer for ONOS. Previously, he was a post-doc at Stanford University researching OpenFlow and SDNs in Nick McKeown's group. He received his Ph.D from the University of Heidelberg in Germany in 2011 after performing his doctoral research at CERN (European Centre for Nuclear Research) in the ATLAS (A Toroidal Lhc ApparatuS) Networking group, where he contributed to the design and development of the TDAQ (Trigger and Data Acquisition ) Network.

Ali Al-Shabibi brings vast knowledge of flow models and congestion avoidance protocols. Prior to working at CERN, Ali studied at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) for his BSc and MSc degrees, where he analyzed large, mountainous systems, such as "Portes du Soleil" and "Argentiere".
