Bayonette provides affordable high quality gigabit fiber broadband services for
condominiums and cooperatives to support delivery of next-generation entertainment, such
as 4K OTT video streams and bandwidth intensive gaming platforms, but also health and
welfare technology to simultaneous users inside the home. To accomplish this at gigabit
levels, Bayonette needs the ability to deliver quality and stability all the way to the
user's device, not merely the residential gateway.
"We experienced that existing solutions in the residential market were not created for
these high performance home networks, so we took measures to ensure that a stable and
reliable gigabit connection could be achieved regardless of use and household size," said
Arve Paalsrud, CTO of Bayonette.
To meet these demands, Bayonette created the Bayonette vHome(TM) platform, that
centralizes complexity and simplifies in-home equipment to reduce truck rolls and
electronic waste. Bayonette vHome(TM) will also accelerate deployments of next-generation
Connected Homes, providing a centralized operator platform for supporting new network
standards and future opportunities such as IoT (Internet of Things), Smart Homes, and
third-party virtual in-home services through the vHome(TM) Services program.
In a joint pioneering effort, Bayonette vHome(TM) is making use of ALTEN Calsoft Labs'
Intel(R) DPDK optimized Virtual CPE
[http://sdn.calsoftlabs.com/network-function-virtualization/virtual-cpe.html ] framework
that are capable of line rate packet processing in the fast path, to accelerate
development and deployment of industry's first residential vCPE solution based on Linux
Containers (LXC). The Bayonette vHome(TM) solution includes several innovations including
OpenStack based NFV orchestration and management solution for commercially deployed vCPE
and vRouter in LXC environment.
"Our initial tests of Bayonette vHome(TM) has shown capabilities of providing over
2000 containers per Intel based dual socket server, processing beyond 40 Gbps of traffic.
That is a density of more than 160,000 vCPEs per rack," Paalsrud said.
Virtualizing and centralizing router functionality simplifies Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE), eliminating troublesome router hassle and restarts for the customer. The
provider gets full control over routing, NAT, DHCP and Firewall functionality at both IPv4
and IPv6, essential to providing a future-proof gigabit connection.
"ALTEN Calsoft Labs was able to help us accelerate our residential vCPE development.
We found their vCPE Framework capable of delivering line rate throughput, and meeting our
scalability, reliability and OAM requirements," said Paalsrud.
"ALTEN Calsoft Labs was also able to offer expert resources to help us with our
development, integration and system testing needs, which was an added benefit for
Bayonette to get to market faster," he added.
"We are very proud to be working with Bayonette for one of the world's first
commercial Residential vCPE solution deployments. The Bayonette vHome(TM) solution
includes several innovations such as use of Linux Containers (LXC) to achieve industry
leading performance and scale; something that the NFV market is looking forward to," said
Narendra Dhara, CTO & Senior VP for Networking & Cloud Infrastructure at ALTEN Calsoft
Labs.
Production deployment of the platform will commence in December 2015.
