The CARDIGAN SDX system continues to gain scale in a production environment. The team is proud to announce that they have redesigned the system to provide OF1.3 multitable support which supports hardware with soft reconfigurable TCAM. CARDIGAN now provides a flexible controller framework which scales as quickly as vendors are increasing their TCAM support. With the current hardware (Pica8 3290 and Noviflow 1132) the system is able to support up to 130,000 flows today. The system optimises which flows are sent to the devices which means that many more routes that this number can be supported. Being able to support hardware from multiple vendors on the same framework allows engineers to deploy the right hardware, in the right location for them. In the early days of the deployment, there was concern expressed about the ability of this SDN system to scale. This framework now addresses those concerns head on. As can be seen below, the system is currently handling over 14,000 routes. We're going to make some changes so that we can test out the full capacity over the next few days. noviswitch# show stats table tableid 2 --------Table id: 2 Active count : 14716 Max_entries : 131071 Lookup count : 0 Match count : 0 The patches to the RouteFlow system which enable these features have been passed back to the RouteFlow development team so that they can be accessed by the entire community. Upwards and onwards.
