OpenFlow Northbound APIs

Sliceable Network Management API

Sliceable Network Management API is an OpenFlow Northbound API to provide an interface for managing virtual layer-2 network slices on OpenFlow.

• [The API specification] (https://github.com/trema/apps/wiki/Sliceable-Network-Management-API) (The pdf version can be downloaded from [here] (https://github.com/trema/apps/wiki/sliceable_api_spec_1.01.pdf).)

Implementations

• [Trema sliceable switch] (https://github.com/trema/apps/)

  Trema sliceable switch is an implementation of an OpenFlow controller to provide virtual layer-2 network slices. This is configured by the sliceable network management API.

  • [tutorial] (https://github.com/trema/apps/wiki/sliceable_switch_tutorial)

• Quantum OpenFlow Plugin

  Quantum OpenFlow Plugin provides a function to mediate between OpenStack and OpenFlow controller (Trema sliceable switch, NEC's ProgrammableFlow controller, etc).
