Thanks for your reply! We can discuss within the OF plugin team tomorrow about integration with other projects including VTN & discuss afterwards over email/IRC.

Hi all,
 
Thank you for including us.
I’m very interested in the integration of VTN over the new OF 1.0/1.3 plugin.
 
However, I’m afraid I can’t make it to the meeting.
 
Most of the members of VTN Project live in Japan,
so it is a little difficult for us to attend meetings.
 
Are there any specific discussion item related to VTN Project?
Do you need any input from VTN Project?
 
Thanks,
Hideyuki Tai

Sending to the VTN team as well. Per Anees' suggestion - will include Hideyuki-san and Yun-san in the Wednesday meeting invite.

OF plugin weekly meeting minutes





OF plugin team and the integration test team,


We will reconvene on Wednesday (7:30 am Pacific/4:30 pm Slovakia/9 pm India) for follow-up on the remaining tasks; as well as the remaining time & discuss issues like what we can give to the integration test team – as well as the integration with other projects  dependent on OpenFlow like VTN & OVSDB.


Given that there are several end-to-end tasks remaining and our end date is Dec 9 – we need to devote the next 2 weeks in the following manner:


This week (Nov 25-Dec 2): Finish the remaining end-to-end tasks.
Next week (Dec 2-9):
1) Between the controller team, OF plugin & the library teams – ensure that the AD-SAL compatibility is taken care of and basic code path works – for the legacy applications using AD-SAL.
2) Tests by the integration test team – using REST API to configure static flows, groups, meters – as well as query stats/counters.


===========================

End to end tasks completed:

===========================


1. Inventory end to end – nodes, coming up, ports, etc.


===========================

End to end tasks remaining:

===========================


1. Flow programming (Prasanna & team) including group & meter:  testing to start tomorrow. Working on patch 2853 (this needs to be merged – Michal to follow up with Tony). Prasanna is using a test module to test it rather than the REST API.
2. Topology – (Michal Rehak fixing handshake issues without which the topology work cannot get started – so we will need to revisit this when we meet again on Wednesday)
3. Miscellaneous items after switch discovery – capabilities – how many tables, does it already have flows, table properties like #flows; deleting existing flows (clear the flow table using a wild carded flow mod to delete all) at the start? (Ed & all)
4. Stats end-to-end tests (Anil)
5. Host tracker & ARP Handler (we had decided earlier there were no changes on this – confirm on Wednesday)
6. Listening on 6633 and 6653 (Michal)


======================

Other Notes/questions:

======================


> Guidance from Prasanna about flow programming:
- Within the controller (from NSF or an OSGI bundle packaged with the controller) should use the Java API
- Applications outside the controller use the REST API.


> Legacy 1.0 application flows mapping to 1.3 style flow (a 1.3 flow with an instruction of “apply-actions immediately” – and the appropriate set fields. This should be handled at the application level – the application should call the API which handles this. Question: so will these protocol level details  for the flow not be abstracted out in the flow programming API?


> Table features multipart (empty body query) – challenge OVS does not support this. LINC supports this?


> Table miss entry (inventory) – I missed what was decided on this (I got disconnected 2-3 times around this).
Can someone provide this info?

> Model barrier request or just atomicity (and translate to barrier for OpenFlow)? From plugin?


Thanks,
Abhijit
