+OpenFlow Plugin Project Developer Guide
+=======================================
+
+This section covers topics which are developer specific and which have
+not been covered in the user guide. Please see the OpenFlow
+plugin user guide first.
+
+It can be found on `the OpenDaylight software download
+page <https://www.opendaylight.org/downloads>`__.
+
+Event Sequences
+---------------
+
+Session Establishment
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The `OpenFlow Protocol
+Library <#_openflow_protocol_library_developer_guide>`__ provides
+interface **SwitchConnectionHandler** which contains method
+*onSwitchConnected* (step 1). This event is raised in the OpenFlow
+Protocol Library when an OpenFlow device connects to OpenDaylight and
+caught in the **ConnectionManagerImpl** class in the OpenFlow plugin.
+
+There the plugin creates a new instance of the **ConnectionContextImpl**
+class (step 1.1) and also instances of **HandshakeManagerImpl** (which
+uses **HandshakeListenerImpl**) and **ConnectionReadyListenerImpl**.
+**ConnectionReadyListenerImpl** contains method *onConnectionReady()*
+which is called when connection is prepared. This method starts the
+handshake with the OpenFlow device (switch) from the OpenFlow plugin
+side. Then handshake can be also started from device side. In this case
+method *shake()* from **HandshakeManagerImpl** is called (steps 1.1.1
+and 2).
+
+The handshake consists of an exchange of HELLO messages in addition to
+an exchange of device features (steps 2.1. and 3). The handshake is
+completed by **HandshakeManagerImpl**. After receiving device features,
+the **HandshakeListenerImpl** is notifed via the
+*onHanshakeSuccessfull()* method. After this, the device features, node
+id and connection state are stored in a **ConnectionContext** and the
+method *deviceConnected()* of **DeviceManagerImpl** is called.
+
+When *deviceConnected()* is called, it does the following:
+
+1. creates a new transaction chain (step 4.1)
+
+2. creates a new instance of **DeviceContext** (step 4.2.2)
+
+3. initializes the device context: the static context of device is
+ populated by calling *createDeviceFeaturesForOF<version>()* to
+ populate table, group, meter features and port descriptions (step
+ 4.2.1 and 4.2.1.1)
+
+4. creates an instance of **RequestContext** for each type of feature
+
+When the OpenFlow device responds to these requests (step 4.2.1.1) with
+multipart replies (step 5) they are processed and stored to MD-SAL
+operational datastore. The *createDeviceFeaturesForOF<version>()* method
+returns a **Future** which is processed in the callback (step 5.1) (part
+of *initializeDeviceContext()* in the *deviceConnected()* method) by
+calling the method *onDeviceCtxLevelUp()* from **StatisticsManager**
+(step 5.1.1).
+
+The call to *createDeviceFeaturesForOF<version>()*: . creates a new
+instance of **StatisticsContextImpl** (step 5.1.1.1).
+
+1. calls *gatherDynamicStatistics()* on that instance which returns a
+ **Future** which will produce a value when done
+
+ a. this method calls methods to get dynamic data (flows, tables,
+ groups) from the device (step 5.1.1.2, 5.1.1.2.1, 5.1.1.2.1.1)
+
+ b. if everything works, this data is also stored in the MD-SAL
+ operational datastore
+
+If the **Future** is successful, it is processed (step 6.1.1) in a
+callback in **StatisticsManagerImpl** which:
+
+1. schedules the next time to poll the device for statistics
+
+2. sets the device state to synchronized (step 6.1.1.2)
+
+3. calls *onDeviceContextLevelUp()* in **RpcManagerImpl**
+
+The *onDeviceContextLevelUp()* call:
+
+1. creates a new instance of **RequestContextImpl**
+
+2. registers implementation for supported services
+
+3. calls *onDeviceContextLevelUp()* in **DeviceManagerImpl** (step
+ 6.1.1.2.1.2) which causes the information about the new device be be
+ written to the MD-SAL operational datastore (step 6.1.1.2.2)

+
+Handshake
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The first thing that happens when an OpenFlow device connects to
+OpenDaylight is that the OpenFlow plugin gathers basic information about
+the device and establishes agreement on key facts like the version of
+OpenFlow which will be used. This process is called the handshake.
+
+The handshake starts with HELLO message which can be sent either by the
+OpenFlow device or the OpenFlow plugin. After this, there are several
+scenarios which can happen:
+
+1. if the first HELLO message contains a *version bitmap*, it is
+ possible to determine if there is a common version of OpenFlow or
+ not:
+
+ a. if there is a single common version use it and the **VERSION IS
+ SETTLED**
+
+ b. if there are more than one common versions, use the highest
+ (newest) protocol and the **VERSION IS SETTLED**
+
+ c. if there are no common versions, the device is **DISCONNECTED**
+
+2. if the first HELLO message does not contain a *version bitmap*, then
+ STEB-BY-STEP negotiation is used
+
+3. if second (or more) HELLO message is received, then STEP-BY-STEP
+ negotiation is used
+
+STEP-BY-STEP negotiation:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- if last version proposed by the OpenFlow plugin is the same as the
+ version received from the OpenFlow device, then the **VERSION IS
+ SETTLED**
+
+- if the version received in the current HELLO message from the device
+ is the same as from previous then negotiation has failed and the
+ device is **DISCONNECTED**
+
+- if the last version from the device is greater than the last version
+ proposed from the plugin, wait for the next HELLO message in the hope
+ that it will advertise support for a lower version
+
+- if the last version from the device is is less than the last version
+ proposed from the plugin:
+
+ - propose the highest version the plugin supports that is less than
+ or equal to the version received from the device and wait for the
+ next HELLO message
+
+ - if if the plugin doesn’t support a lower version, the device is
+ **DISCONNECTED**
+
+After selecting of version we can say that the **VERSION IS SETTLED**
+and the OpenFlow plugin can ask device for its features. At this point
+handshake ends.
+

+
+Adding a Flow
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are two ways to add a flow in in the OpenFlow plugin: adding it to
+the MD-SAL config datastore or calling an RPC. Both of these can either
+be done using the native MD-SAL interfaces or using RESTCONF. This
+discussion focuses on calling the RPC.
+
+If user send flow via REST interface (step 1) it will cause that
+*invokeRpc()* is called on **RpcBroker**. The **RpcBroker** then looks
+for an appropriate implementation of the interface. In the case of the
+OpenFlow plugin, this is the *addFlow()* method of
+**SalFlowServiceImpl** (step 1.1). The same thing happens if the RPC is
+called directly from the native MD-SAL interfaces.
+
+The *addFlow()* method then
+
+1. calls the *commitEntry()* method (step 2) from the OpenFlow Protocol
+ Library which is responsible for sending the flow to the device
+
+2. creates a new **RequestContext** by calling *createRequestContext()*
+ (step 3)
+
+3. creates a callback to handle any events that happen because of
+ sending the flow to the device
+
+The callback method is triggered when a barrier reply message (step 2.1)
+is received from the device indicating that the flow was either
+installed or an appropriate error message was sent. If the flow was
+successfully sent to the device, the RPC result is set to success (step
+5). // **SalFlowService** contains inside method *addFlow()* other
+callback which caught notification from callback for barrier message.
+
+At this point, no information pertaining to the flow has been added to
+the MD-SAL operational datastore. That is accomplished by the periodic
+gathering of statistics from OpenFlow devices.
+
+The **StatisticsContext** for each given OpenFlow device periodically
+polls it using *gatherStatistics()* of **StatisticsGatheringUtil** which
+issues an OpenFlow OFPT\_MULTIPART\_REQUEST - OFPMP\_FLOW. The response
+to this request (step 7) is processed in **StatisticsGatheringUtil**
+class where flow data is written to the MD-SAL operational datastore via
+the *writeToTransaction()* method of **DeviceContext**.

+Description of OpenFlow Plugin Modules
+--------------------------------------
+
+The OpenFlow plugin project contains a variety of OpenDaylight modules,
+which are loaded using the configuration subsystem. This section
+describes the YANG files used to model each module.
+
+**General model (interfaces)** - openflow-plugin-cfg.yang.
+
+- the provided module is defined (``identity openflow-provider``)
+
+- and target implementation is assigned (``...OpenflowPluginProvider``)
+

+
+API changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to provide multiple instances of modules from openflowjava
+there is an API change. Previously OFPlugin got access to
+SwitchConnectionProvider exposed by OFJava and injected collection of
+configurations so that for each configuration new instance of tcp
+listening server was created. Now those configurations are provided by
+configSubsystem and configured modules (wrapping the original
+SwitchConnectionProvider) are injected into OFPlugin (wrapping
+SwitchConnectionHandler).
+
+Providing config file (IT, local distribution/base, integration/distributions/base)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+openflowplugin-it
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Here the whole configuration is contained in one file (controller.xml).
+Required entries needed in order to startup and wire OEPlugin + OFJava
+are simply added there.
+
+OFPlugin/distribution/base
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Here new config file has been added
+(src/main/resources/configuration/initial/42-openflow-protocol-impl.xml)
+and is being copied to config/initial subfolder of build.
+
+integration/distributions/build
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In order to push the actual config into config/initial subfolder of
+distributions/base in integration project there was a new artifact in
+OFPlugin created - **openflowplugin-controller-config**, containing only
+the config xml file under src/main/resources. Another change was
+committed into integration project. During build this config xml is
+being extracted and copied to the final folder in order to be accessible
+during controller run.
+
+Internal message statistics API
+-------------------------------
+
+To aid in testing and diagnosis, the OpenFlow plugin provides
+information about the number and rate of different internal events.
+
+The implementation does two things: collects event counts and exposes
+counts. Event counts are grouped by message type, e.g.,
+**PacketInMessage**, and checkpoint, e.g.,
+*TO\_SWITCH\_ENQUEUED\_SUCCESS*. Once gathered, the results are logged
+as well as being exposed using OSGi command line (deprecated) and JMX.
+
+Collect
+~~~~~~~
+
+Each message is counted as it passes through various processing
+checkpoints. The following checkpoints are defined as a Java enum and
+tracked:
+
+.. code:: java
+
+ /**
+ * statistic groups overall in OFPlugin
+ */
+ enum STATISTIC_GROUP {
+ /** message from switch, enqueued for processing */
+ FROM_SWITCH_ENQUEUED,
+ /** message from switch translated successfully - source */
+ FROM_SWITCH_TRANSLATE_IN_SUCCESS,
+ /** message from switch translated successfully - target */
+ FROM_SWITCH_TRANSLATE_OUT_SUCCESS,
+ /** message from switch where translation failed - source */
+ FROM_SWITCH_TRANSLATE_SRC_FAILURE,
+ /** message from switch finally published into MD-SAL */
+ FROM_SWITCH_PUBLISHED_SUCCESS,
+ /** message from switch - publishing into MD-SAL failed */
+ FROM_SWITCH_PUBLISHED_FAILURE,
+
+ /** message from MD-SAL to switch via RPC enqueued */
+ TO_SWITCH_ENQUEUED_SUCCESS,
+ /** message from MD-SAL to switch via RPC NOT enqueued */
+ TO_SWITCH_ENQUEUED_FAILED,
+ /** message from MD-SAL to switch - sent to OFJava successfully */
+ TO_SWITCH_SUBMITTED_SUCCESS,
+ /** message from MD-SAL to switch - sent to OFJava but failed*/
+ TO_SWITCH_SUBMITTED_FAILURE
+ }
+
+When a message passes through any of those checkpoints then counter
+assigned to corresponding checkpoint and message is incremented by 1.
+
+Expose statistics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As described above, there are three ways to access the statistics:
+
+- OSGi command line (this is considered deprecated)
+
+ ``osgi> dumpMsgCount``
+
+- OpenDaylight logging console (statistics are logged here every 10
+ seconds)
+
+ required logback settings :
+ ``<logger name="org.opendaylight.openflowplugin.openflow.md.queue.MessageSpyCounterImpl" level="DEBUG"\/>``
+
+- JMX (via JConsole)
+
+ start OpenFlow plugin with the ``-jmx`` parameter
+
+ start JConsole by running ``jconsole``
+
+ the JConsole MBeans tab should contain
+ org.opendaylight.controller
+
+ RuntimeBean has a msg-spy-service-impl
+
+ Operations provides makeMsgStatistics report functionality

+
+Application: Forwarding Rules Synchronizer
+------------------------------------------
+
+Basics
+~~~~~~
+
+Description
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Forwarding Rules Synchronizer (FRS) is a newer version of Forwarding
+Rules Manager (FRM). It was created to solve most shortcomings of FRM.
+FRS solving errors with retry mechanism. Sending barrier if needed.
+Using one service for flows, groups and meters. And it has less changes
+requests send to device since calculating difference and using
+compression queue.
+
+It is located in the Java package:
+
+.. code:: java
+
+ package org.opendaylight.openflowplugin.applications.frsync;
+
+Listeners
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+- 1x config - FlowCapableNode
+
+- 1x operational - Node
+
+System of work
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- one listener in config datastore waiting for changes
+
+ - update cache
+
+ - skip event if operational not present for node
+
+ - send syncup entry to reactor for synchronization
+
+ - node added: after part of modification and whole operational
+ snapshot
+
+ - node updated: after and before part of modification
+
+ - node deleted: null and before part of modification
+
+- one listener in operational datastore waiting for changes
+
+ - update cache
+
+ - on device connected
+
+ - register for cluster services
+
+ - on device disconnected remove from cache
+
+ - remove from cache
+
+ - unregister for cluster services
+
+ - if registered for reconciliation
+
+ - do reconciliation through syncup (only when config present)
+
+- reactor *(provides syncup w/decorators assembled in this order)*
+
+ - Cluster decorator - skip action if not master for device
+
+ - FutureZip decorator (FutureZip extends Future decorator)
+
+ - Future - run delegate syncup in future - submit task to
+ executor service
+
+ - FutureZip - provides state compression - compress optimized
+ config delta if waiting for execution with new one
+
+ - Guard decorator - per device level locking
+
+ - Retry decorator - register for reconciliation if syncup failed
+
+ - Reactor impl - calculate diff from after/before parts of syncup
+ entry and execute
+
+Strategy
+^^^^^^^^
+
+In the *old* FRM uses an incremental strategy with all changes made one
+by one, where FRS uses a flat batch system with changes made in bulk. It
+uses one service SalFlatBatchService instead of three (flow, group,
+meter).
+
+Boron release
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRS is used in Boron as separate feature and it is not loaded by any
+other feature. It has to be run separately.
+
+::
+
+ odl-openflowplugin-app-forwardingrules-sync
+
+FRS additions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retry mechanism
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- is started when change request to device return as failed (register
+ for reconcile)
+
+- wait for next consistent operational and do reconciliation with
+ actual config (not only diff)
+
+ZipQueue
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- only the diff (before/after) between last config changes is sent to
+ device
+
+- when there are more config changes for device in a row waiting to be
+ processed they are compressed into one entry (after is still replaced
+ with the latest)
+
+Cluster-aware
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- FRS is cluster aware using ClusteringSingletonServiceProvider from
+ the MD-SAL
+
+- on mastership change reconciliation is done (register for reconcile)
+
+SalFlatBatchService
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRS uses service with implemented barrier waiting logic between
+dependent objects
+
+SalFlatBatchService for FRS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+SalFlatBatchService was created along forwardingrules-sync application
+as the service that should application used by default. This service
+uses only one input with bag of flow/group/meter objects and their
+common add/update/remove action. So you practically send only one input
+(of specific bags) to this service.
+
+Workflow
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- prepare plan of actions
+
+ - mark actions where the barrier is needed before continue
+
+- run appropriate service calls
+
+ - start all actions that can be run simultaneously
+
+ - if there is barrier-needed mark, wait for all fired jobs and only
+ then continue with the next action
+
+error handling:
+
+- there is flag to stop process on the first error (default set to
+ false)
+
+Cluster singleton approach in plugin
+------------------------------------
+
+Basics
+~~~~~~
+
+Description
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The existing OpenDaylight service deployment model assumes symmetric
+clusters, where all services are activated on all nodes in the cluster.
+However, many services require that there is a single active service
+instance per cluster. We call such services *singleton services*. The
+Entity Ownership Service (EOS) represents the base Leadership choice for
+one Entity instance. Every Cluster Singleton service **type** must have
+its own Entity and every Cluster Singleton service **instance** must
+have its own Entity Candidate. Every registered Entity Candidate should
+be notified about its actual role. All this "work" is done by MD-SAL so
+the Openflowplugin need "only" to register as service in
+**SingletonClusteringServiceProvider** given by MD-SAL.
+
+Change against using EOS service listener
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In this new clustering singleton approach plugin uses API from the
+MD-SAL project: SingletonClusteringService which comes with three
+methods.
+
+::
+
+ instantiateServiceInstance()
+ closeServiceInstance()
+ getIdentifier()
+
+This service has to be registered to a
+SingletonClusteringServiceProvider from MD-SAL which take care if
+mastership is changed in cluster environment.
+
+First method in SingletonClusteringService is being called when the
+cluster node becomes a MASTER. Second is being called when status
+changes to SLAVE or device is disconnected from cluster. Last method
+plugins returns NodeId as ServiceGroupIdentifier Startup after device is
+connected
+
+On the start up the plugin we need to initialize first four managers for
+each working area providing information and services
+
+- Device manager
+
+- RPC manager
+
+- Role manager
+
+- Statistics manager
+
+After connection the device the listener Device manager get the event
+and start up to creating the context for this connection. Startup after
+device connection
+
+Services are managed by SinlgetonClusteringServiceProvider from MD-SAL
+project. So in startup we simply create a instance of LifecycleService
+and register all contexts into it.
+
+Role change
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Plugin is no longer registered as Entity Ownership Service (EOS)
+listener therefore does not need to and cannot respond on EOS ownership
+changes.
+
+Service start
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Services start asynchronously but the start is managed by
+LifecycleService. If something goes wrong LifecycleService stop starting
+services in context and this speeds up the reconnect process. But the
+services haven’t changed and plugin need to start all this:
+
+- Activating transaction chain manager
+
+- Initial gathering of device statistics
+
+- Initial submit to DS
+
+- Sending role MASTER to device
+
+- RPC services registration
+
+- Statistics gathering start
+
+Service stop
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If closeServiceInstance occurred plugin just simply try to store all
+unsubmitted transactions and close the transaction chain manager, stop
+RPC services, stop Statistics gathering and after that all unregister
+txEntity from EOS.

+
+Wiring up notifications
+-----------------------
+
+Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We need to translate OpenFlow messages coming up from the `OpenFlow
+Protocol Library <#_openflow_protocol_library_developer_guide>`__ into
+MD-SAL Notification objects and then publish them to the MD-SAL.
+
+Mechanics
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+1. Create a Translator class
+
+2. Register the Translator
+
+3. Register the notificationPopListener to handle your Notification
+ Objects
+
+Create a Translator class
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can see an example in
+`PacketInTranslator.java <https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=openflowplugin.git;a=blob;f=openflowplugin/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/openflowplugin/openflow/md/core/translator/PacketInTranslator.java;hb=refs/heads/stable/boron>`__.
+
+First, simply create the class
+
+::
+
+ public class PacketInTranslator implements IMDMessageTranslator<OfHeader, List<DataObject>> {
+
+Then implement the translate function:
+
+::
+
+ public class PacketInTranslator implements IMDMessageTranslator<OfHeader, List<DataObject>> {
+
+ protected static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory
+ .getLogger(PacketInTranslator.class);
+ @Override
+ public PacketReceived translate(SwitchConnectionDistinguisher cookie,
+ SessionContext sc, OfHeader msg) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+Make sure to check that you are dealing with the expected type and cast
+it:
+
+::
+
+ if(msg instanceof PacketInMessage) {
+ PacketInMessage message = (PacketInMessage)msg;
+ List<DataObject> list = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<DataObject>();
+
+Do your transation work and return
+
+::
+
+ PacketReceived pktInEvent = pktInBuilder.build();
+ list.add(pktInEvent);
+ return list;
+
+Register your Translator Class
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Next you need to go to
+`MDController.java <https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=openflowplugin.git;a=blob;f=openflowplugin/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/openflowplugin/openflow/md/core/MDController.java;hb=refs/heads/stable/boron>`__
+and in init() add register your Translator:
+
+::
+
+ public void init() {
+ LOG.debug("Initializing!");
+ messageTranslators = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
+ popListeners = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
+ //TODO: move registration to factory
+ addMessageTranslator(ErrorMessage.class, OF10, new ErrorTranslator());
+ addMessageTranslator(ErrorMessage.class, OF13, new ErrorTranslator());
+ addMessageTranslator(PacketInMessage.class,OF10, new PacketInTranslator());
+ addMessageTranslator(PacketInMessage.class,OF13, new PacketInTranslator());
+
+Notice that there is a separate registration for each of OpenFlow 1.0
+and OpenFlow 1.3. Basically, you indicate the type of OpenFlow Protocol
+Library message you wish to translate for, the OpenFlow version, and an
+instance of your Translator.
+
+Register your MD-SAL Message for Notification to the MD-SAL
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Now, also in MDController.init() register to have the
+notificationPopListener handle your MD-SAL Message:
+
+::
+
+ addMessagePopListener(PacketReceived.class, new NotificationPopListener<DataObject>());
+
+You are done
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+That’s all there is to it. Now when a message comes up from the OpenFlow
+Protocol Library, it will be translated and published to the MD-SAL.
+
+Message Order Preservation
+--------------------------
+
+While the Helium release of OpenFlow Plugin relied on queues to ensure
+messages were delivered in order, subsequent releases instead ensure
+that all the messages from a given device are delivered using the same
+thread and thus message order is guaranteed without queues. The OpenFlow
+plugin allocates a number of threads equal to twice the number of
+processor cores on machine it is run, e.g., 8 threads if the machine has
+4 cores.
+
+.. note::
+
+ While each device is assigned to one thread, multiple devices can be
+ assigned to the same thread.

-=== Description of OpenFlow Plugin Modules
-
-The OpenFlow plugin project contains a variety of OpenDaylight modules,
-which are loaded using the configuration subsystem. This section
-describes the YANG files used to model each module.
-
-*General model (interfaces)* - openflow-plugin-cfg.yang.
-
-* the provided module is defined (`identity openflow-provider`)
-* and target implementation is assigned (`...OpenflowPluginProvider`)

-
-==== API changes
-
-In order to provide multiple instances of modules from openflowjava
-there is an API change. Previously OFPlugin got access to
-SwitchConnectionProvider exposed by OFJava and injected collection of
-configurations so that for each configuration new instance of tcp
-listening server was created. Now those configurations are provided by
-configSubsystem and configured modules (wrapping the original
-SwitchConnectionProvider) are injected into OFPlugin (wrapping
-SwitchConnectionHandler).
-
-==== Providing config file (IT, local distribution/base, integration/distributions/base)
-
-===== openflowplugin-it
-
-Here the whole configuration is contained in one file (controller.xml).
-Required entries needed in order to startup and wire OEPlugin + OFJava
-are simply added there.
-
-===== OFPlugin/distribution/base
-
-Here new config file has been added
-(src/main/resources/configuration/initial/42-openflow-protocol-impl.xml)
-and is being copied to config/initial subfolder of build.
-
-===== integration/distributions/build
-
-In order to push the actual config into config/initial subfolder of
-distributions/base in integration project there was a new artifact in
-OFPlugin created - *openflowplugin-controller-config*, containing only
-the config xml file under src/main/resources. Another change was
-committed into integration project. During build this config xml is
-being extracted and copied to the final folder in order to be accessible
-during controller run.
