Call Home is an innovative system that enables network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) in situations where virtual customer premises equipment (vCPE) is protected by a cable modem or a firewall. In this presentation, ADVA Optical Networking’s engineers outlined this new technique and explained how it makes secure NFV/SDN deployment possible when a NETCONF client is otherwise unable to initiate an SSH connection directly to the NETCONF server.
Rajendra Nagabhushan and Vikram Darsi discussed how the IETF draft for NETCONF Call Home Using SSH can be implemented as an OpenDaylight feature. They demonstrated how the technology can be applied in a real-world use-case and outlined how an ADVA Optical Networking product is being developed ahead of its 2017 release.
