Owner
- Name: yamahata
- Email: yamahata at private email ne jp

- Percentage of completion: 90%
Detailed Description
Ryu is an Operating System for Software Defined Networking.
Ryu aims to provide a logically centralized control and well defined API that make it easy for operators to create new network management and control applications. Currently, Ryu manages network devices by using OpenFlow. You can say that Ryu is an OpenFlow Controller.
For Software Defined Networking or OpenFlow, please refer to Open Networking Foundation
Benefit to Fedora
Now Fedora (Fedora 17) includes OpenStack (and Open vSwitch). Ryu brings open source openflow controller which can cooperates well with OpenStack.
Scope
task: Ryu development:
- vlan support: 90%
- Ryu plugin support for Openstack Qauntum: keeping update for its development
packaging:
- rpm package: available at [1]
- make sure that it works with dependent Fedora package. Especially OpenStack and Open vSwitch
How To Test
Typical usecase is with OpenStack.
- Install OpenStack package with Quantum enabled and configure them.
- install Ryu from package
- RYU Openstack Folsom environment HOWTO explains how to configure Ryu and OpenStack and expected results
User Experience
With openstack nova/quantum, users can build cloud system with multi tenant network support with open vswitch.
Dependencies
openstack nova openstack quantum openvswitch
Contingency Plan
This feature can be removed entirely as contingency plan because no other package depends on this. OpenStack can work without Ryu.(With Ryu, it can provide better features.)
