Introduction

NEC OpenFlow plugin talks to OpenFlow Controller and each Neutron would be mapped to an virtual layer-2 network slice on an OpenFlow enabled network. The interface between the Neutron plugin and OpenFlow Controller is RESTful API. This API is supported by two implementations: NEC ProgrammableFlow Networking Controller and Trema Sliceable Switch. More detail is available in networking-nec repository.

Using NEC OpenFlow plugin

Note for Juno DevStack users:

Devstack support of NEC OpenFlow plugin is a part of the official devstack (http://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack) from Grizzly.
Detail instruction and sample devstack configuration examples (localrc) are available at https://github.com/nec-openstack/devstack-neutron-nec-openflow/wiki .
