Do We have the Backbone to Support Emerging Technologies ?Software Defined Networking
March 2017IRSE Australasia – Technical Meeting & AGM Sydney
Take-Away from this Presentation The Backbone Transmission Network is the Foundation on which
emerging technologies are built upon.
Without a solid Foundation, a building cannot become a skyscraper.
Software Defined Networking is the Foundation on which railways can grow into integrated transportation systems.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is not a technological advancement, it is merely a new way of implementing functionality with existing proven technologies.

PDH? Ethernet? MPLS?
Future State of Backbone Communication in Railways Dependence on hardware-based
networking solution. Do we need a new box each time
a new technology emerges and at what OPEX and CAPEX costs?

The End of Serial Protocols on the Railway as We know it
SDN can be configured to analyse and process any serial protocol as it is software configurable.
Allows the departure from proprietary protocol and hardware.
Avoid solutions which lock an operator to a single vendor.

Fitting it all in the World of Railways and CENELEC
Tailored to support both Vital Safety system and Non-Vital system within a common platform.
Tools grant user greater visibility and control. EN 50128 processes can be applied to nominate a SIL
rating.

Business Drivers for SDN – Railway Applications
Easier to manage change & provision of services. No Vendor Lock-in. Streamline cost when up-skilling staff. Better Network Management – Agile and Responsive
Networking. Ability to cater for different types of traffic on a common
platform. Ability to apply railway RAMS in the networking software. Improved Network Security.

SDN Open Protocol
OpenFlow is an open protocol Open protocol does not mean 100% free The Market is now opened to not just hardware
manufacturers but also to software developers.

SDN in Railways – Where to From Here? Developing specific SDN
software that follows the process for SIL rating to pave the road for transitioning to Communication Based Train Control
Evolution of SDN-R……. Moving forward from GSM-R and LTE-R
