Overview

The Coordinator is a protosystem for coordinated controller replica selection architecture in multi-controller SDN. The Coordinator is highly inspired by On.lab's OpenVirtex project.

Features

1. Proxy for LLDP and OFHandShake.

2. Proxy for OFStatistics.

3. Customized controller replica selection scheme, southbound -> northbound (select replica for OFPacketIn), northbound -> southbound (send OFPacketOut to downstream).

Catalog

1. coordinator_deployable: providing compiled deployable version.
2. coordinator_source: providing version of source code, can be re compiled.
