Avantika Sushil is a seasoned software engineer with over a decade focused on packet networking and control-plane protocols such as PCEP, Segment Routing and BGP, now building at Ciena. She has driven design and delivery of stateful PCE, PCECC and tunnel management features across vendors including Huawei, ECI and Ribbon, often leading cross-site modules from architecture through stabilization. Her open-source contributions to ONOS reflect hands-on experience extending a prominent SDN controller with provider-side logic, datastore changes and tunnel APIs that bridge traditional MPLS control to SDN models. Known for making independent design and data-structure decisions, she blends protocol expertise with pragmatic system implementation to translate complex network constraints into reliable software.
Contributions summary:Avantika primarily contributed to the development and enhancement of the Open Network Operating System (ONOS), focusing on tunnel-related functionalities. Their work includes adding and modifying provider service APIs to manage tunnels, including the ability to add, update, and remove tunnels with status changes. The user also implemented new APIs for tunnel services and made provider-side changes to support stateful PCE and PCECC features, indicating involvement in core network control plane logic. This work also involved modifications to the data store and interaction with PCEP (Path Computation Element Protocol).
