Based on the following patch: From: Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp> Subject: dpset: add port{add, delete, modify} event for convenience and helper functions It is sometimes commonly interesting to track datapath/port appearance/disappearance. The applications usually want to see that ports appear after datapath becomes ready, and ports disappear when datapath is dead. It requires to handle properly events, hand shaking, port_mod event, switch_feature_reply. So introduce a common layer to handle them. GRE tunnel is interested in datapath/port appearance/disappearance. With this, tunnel app doesn't have to handle those conditions. Discovery is interested only in datapath/port appearance/disappearance. With this, discovery app would not have to handle OFP events directly.

What's Ryu
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, which support OpenFlow v1.0, v1.2, v1.3, and Nicira Extensions.
All of the code is freely available under the Apache 2.0 license. Ryu is fully written in Python.
Quick Start
Installing Ryu is quite easy:
% pip install ryu
If you prefer to install Ryu from the source code:
% git clone git://github.com/osrg/ryu.git
% cd ryu; python ./setup.py install
If you want to use Ryu with OpenStack, please refer detailed documents. You can create tens of thousands of isolated virtual networks without using VLAN. The Ryu application is included in OpenStack mainline as of Essex release.
If you want to write your Ryu application, have a look at Writing ryu application document. After writing your application, just type:
% ryu-manager yourapp.py
