Goal
- scale up SDN-Controller/RESTconf interface for microserivces which are using only RESTconf (and optional websocket) interface, e.g. highstreet adapted transportPCE
Motivation
- due last stress tests we were able to connect max. 2000 active NETCONF connections to a SDNC
- to establish microservices over a whole provider network (like transportPCE for optical path calculation) we try to multiplex the the RESTconf interface for the nodes
- that means topology has to be rebuild on the microservice side but for all node related RESTconf requests it still looks like one single SDN-Controller is holding every single connection to the nodes of the network
Goal
- scale up SDN-Controller/RESTconf interface for microserivces which are using only RESTconf (and optional websocket) interface, e.g. highstreet adapted transportPCE
Restrictions
- RESTconf only for the device requests (up to now)
- NodeIds have to be unique in the whole network (over multiple SDNCs /SDNC clusters)
- only implemented services (here named multirequest services) can also be forwarded
- things like network-topology are up to now not possible to forward (therefore the response data have to be combined)
