This Application creates personalized virtual networks for each device of a user. They are extended on demand, which is done once the user authenticates, activates access to additional applications, or as soon as applications scale out. The virtual networks are adapted while the user is roaming with his device through the network.

The authentication can be realized with the S-BYOD Portal providing the code for the Web-Portal, where BYOD services are enabled and disabled.

The Consul service discovery application is supported by the S-BYOD application, allowing the integration of discovered network services into the available services of the BYOD network.

The Figure shows an example use case of the Sardine-BYOD application using three hardware switches, two access points and a private cloud. A similiar set-up can be found inside the examples folder.

The S-BYOD Application is an extension of the ONOS project. Therefore a running ONOS instances is a pre-condition to start this application. The installation and startup is explained in a step-by-step tutorial found at the project specific wiki .

The process of installing and running the S-BYOD application is explained in the following, assuming a freshly installed ONOS version 1.5.1 available on the system.

Before starting ONOS via

$ ok clean

the environment variables specified by the bash_profile script during installation are modified by entering

$ export ONOS APPS=drivers,openflow,proxyarp,mobility

This defines the applications ONOS is starting with and ensures that no other forwarding application like org.onosproject.fwd is running. A quick view into the ONOS log with

onos> log:tail

to check a proper start-up can be very useful. All network devices like switches have to be connected now, as the S-BYOD application only supports the discovery of hosts but switches not yet.

The S-BYOD Portal is installed respectively to the installation guide found at the corresponding git repository. According to this, one has to install Meteor via

$ curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

clone the repository with

$ git clone https://github.com/lsinfo3/2016-itc-sbyod-portal.git

create a configuration file and start the portal by entering

$ meteor --settings settings.json

The portal page can be accessed in the browser at https://{portal-ip}:3000 , where the {portal-ip} is the IP address belonging to the Meteor application.

By cloning this Git repository one obtains the S-BYOD application for ONOS. The

$ mvn clean install

command in the application’s source folder creates an ONOS Application aRchive (OAR) file. To launch the compiled S-BYOD app, the onos-app shell tool

$ onos-app {onos-ip} install! onos-byod.oar

is used, where the {onos-ip} is the IP address the ONOS instance is accessible on. Finally the Meteor portal address has to be configured in the ONOS REST user interface, which can be accessed at https://{onos-ip}:8181/onos/v1/docs/#!/portal. The standard user name and password for the ONOS web-ui is ”karaf”. Now the S-BYOD application is running and should redirect every request to the Meteor portal, where further connections can be established.

There are several examples inside the examples folder, demonstrating the potential of the S-BYOD application.
