| 7 | NG-SDN Tutorial |
| 8 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 9 | We highly recommend people to go through the **NG-SDN Tutorial** as preparation for the SD-Fabric development work. |
| 10 | You will learn all the required background knowledge and get opportunities |
| 11 | to run hands-on experiments as part of the tutorial. |
| 12 | The tutorial is free and publicly available at: https://github.com/opennetworkinglab/ngsdn-tutorial |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Reading Materials |
| 15 | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 16 | - `SD-Fabric Techinar 2021 <https://opennetworking.org/events/sd-fabric-techinar/>`_ |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Introduction to the SD-Fabric project. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | - `Software-Defined Networks: A Systems Approach <https://sdn.systemsapproach.org>`_ |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Book about SDN in the context of P4, Stratum ONOS, whitebox switches, etc. |
| 23 | Even if you are already familiar with most of the concepts, |
| 24 | it should give you “full-stack” view of how we use programmable data planes at ONF. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - `5G Mobile Networks: A Systems Approach <https://5g.systemsapproach.org>`_ |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Same as the SDN book but related to 5G architecture, a very good starting point to |
| 29 | get aligned with other ONF engineers around architecture and terminology for mobile networks. |
| 30 | Optional if your work will not be strictly related to Aether. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | - `Aether overview <https://youtu.be/ZzwFQCSmOJg>`_ |
| 33 | |
| 34 | There are many videos available on YouTube, this one should be the most recent. |
| 35 | Optional if your work will not be strictly related to Aether. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - UP4 architecture |
| 38 | |
| 39 | UP4 is the codename for our P4-based UPF project. Optional if your work will not be strictly related to Aether. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | - `Blog post (Sep 2021) <https://opennetworking.org/news-and-events/blog/using-p4-and-programmable-switches-to-implement-a-4g-5g-upf-in-aether/>`_ |
| 42 | - `Paper (Sep 2021) <https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~macdavid/media/up4-sosr21.pdf>`_ |
| 43 | - `Slide deck <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IlxsGKXPtqfFFAqORZV-N5OuCvoLloXQuKjvaL5Xf7M>`_ |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - `Trellis architecture <https://docs.trellisfabric.org/1.12/architecture.html>`_ |
| 46 | |
| 47 | This document is based on an outdated, OF-DPA based data plane. But the control plane design logic remains the same. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | .. note:: |
| 50 | We are working on development guides for ``fabric-tna`` pipeline and SD-Fabric control applications (``SegmentRouting``, ``UPF``, ``INT``). |
| 51 | More contents will be available shortly. |
