IETF 102 Hackathon

Objectives

Below are the 3 main objectives. Updates will be published below.

Alternative southbound interface to flow enabled network bridges

This is a new project originally defined in the following post on hackathon@ietf.org https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/hackathon/vb27RmJivbwy8UURV_KXh2IzZd0

The project consists of 3 tasks:

1. Design and publish draft with YANG model of a flow enabled network bridge.
2. Device (server) side model implementation - loadable module for some of the available opensource NETCONF servers implementing the model for a OpenFlow device as a proxy controller with a single node.
3. Controller (client) side plug-in implementation - yangflowplugin for

ODL interacting with NETCONF mounted nodes implementing the YANG model that ideally can coexist with openflowplugin.

Progress:

• Checked https://github.com/opencomputeproject/SAI for references.

Walkthrough

Mount the netconf device:
