openflow extensions

Gowrishankar, Ramkumar <rgowrishankar@...>
Hi,
The Openflow protocol library extensions documents how to implement custom extensions via augmenting the yang model and implementing the seralizer/deserializer. How is this functionality exposed in the OpenFlowPlugin? Since OpenFlowPlugin is the primary consumer of OpenFlowJava module and users will use the APIs that it provides to configure OF switches, do we need a similar set of changes there as well? How does the end user use the extensions?
Thanks,

I believe Brent has used the extensions. You may want to go thru his presentation (not exactly how to do extensions as such - but you can get some idea): His presentation is marked as "Feedback of using OpenFlow 1.3 by Brent Salisbury - OpenFlow plugin meeting, May 19, 2014".
Also Prasanna and his team are working on adding the experimenter framework for Helium.

Abhijit,
I have looked at his presentation and as far as I know the work that Prasanna and this team are doing are also on the OpenFlowJava side. Going by Brent's comments to his commits to the OpenFlowJava he is modifying the yang model in the controller for consumption
by the OpenFlowPlugin.
This model of changing the controller yang model is suitable for Brent's case where the extensions are still generic and acceptable to the larger community, but not for vendor specific extensions that OpenFlowJava enables.
Has there been any discussions around trying to provide a similar mechanism in OpenFlowPlugin via which extensions can be created similar to the way Prasanna's team implemented it for OpenFlowJava?
Thanks,
Ramkumar

Apologize Abhijit, ignore the previous email. I just saw that there is work scheduled for Helium.

Hi Ramkumar,
I have only some minor clarifications: 1. I don't know about any extensibility support changes made by Prasanna in the openflowjava. This was completely implemented by me. Prasanna and his team are assigned to OpenflowPlugin extensibility support milestone. 2. In order to support even vendor specific extensions you will have to augment existing models (for both controller and openflowjava). Brent's openflowjava changes are stored in the openflowjava repository just temporarily. Once I merge the exemplary experimenter
bundle (https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/6742/), he will have to move his code and augmentations into his own ovsdb bundle. The same should apply to the controller part. Regards Michal Polkorab From: Gowrishankar, Ramkumar <rgowrishankar@...>

Yes. We are waiting on the end-to-end support (whatever that means) for the ability to use Extensions support of OpenFlow. Based on our discussion, the end-to-end extensibility support needs changes on both Openflowplugin and Openflowjava. It would be awesome if we can coordinate the deliverables from both the project together & also a sample extension coded in so that it can be used as a cookie-cutter for others to write their own extension support ? Abhijit, Is it possible to prioritize this effort soon so that we can get this integration done sooner ? We have been waiting on this for more than 6 weeks now and a lot of features are squarely dependent on it. Thanks, -Madhu On 6/11/14, 1:25 AM, Michal Polkoráb

As I said in another email - let's discuss this in the next Monday meeting to figure out what Prasanna is doing for the experimenter framework & if it can be done sooner (if Brent or someone helps).
