This is a simple openflow controller that I've built. It is built from scratch with no 3rd party openflow framework. I've implemented this by reading the openflow 1.3 spec and with a lot of help of the excellent http://flowgrammable.org website.

The goal was to experiment and uderstand how openflow works.

Implementation:

This controller creates virtual L3 networks that can span over several OVS switches. More details at http://www.dumais.io/index.php?article=ecb1bf742106e1280f51c6a937033bdb

API:

alt text

The controller exposes an API to create the overlay networks.

  • POST /router To define a new virtual router
  • PUT /router To add virtual networks to a virtual router so that traffic can be routed between each other.
  • POST /host To define a new virtual machine
  • POST /network To define a new virtual networks
  • POST /bridge To define a new hypervisor
  • GET /topology To retrieve the virtual topology
  • GET /switch To retrieve information about SDN switches and ports

Files:

The folder "dumaislib" is a precompiled binary output of my dumaislib library that contains JSON, rest and webserver functionalities. That library can be found in my github repos also.
