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, 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 <http://openstack.org/>`_,
|
|
please refer `detailed documents <http://www.osrg.net/ryu/overview.html>`_.
|
|
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 run your Ryu application, have a look at
|
|
`a simple example <https://github.com/osrg/ryu/blob/master/ryu/app/simple_switch.py>`_.
|
|
After writing your application, just type::
|
|
|
|
% ryu-manager yourapp.py
|
|
|
|
