OpenDaylight India Forum

Experimenter Framework provide standard way to offer additional functionality based on OpenFlow Specification. Experimenter defines a way of allowing vendor defined extensions to action, matches and messages. Proposal is to walk through Experimenter framework in OpenDaylight components (Plugin, Library) in detail and also use same framework for implementing the vendor specific extensibility, one example is nicira-extensions. The proposal also showcases the implementation of sample Symmetric experimenter message with sample modelling and RPC implementation with registry points for Vendor converters towards application. Basic experimenter message will have 2 step conversion from High Level model to Low level OF Java model and also from OF Java level to wire protocol. In Summary proposal showcases experimenter framework in ODL, also demonstrates sample Vendor specific implementation.
