Genius Integration and System Test

Code Name

The code name is odl-genius-ui. The integration test code is available under the genius folder of integration repo.

Description

Genius project provides Generic Network Interfaces, Utilities & Services. Any ODL application can use these to achieve interference-free co-existence with other applications using Genius. In the the first phase (ODL-Boron time frame), Genius would provide following modules --

1. Modules providing a common view of Network interfaces for different services
   • Interface (logical port) Manager
     1. Allows bindings/registration of multiple services to logical ports/interfaces
     2. Ability to plugin different types of southbound protocol renderers
   • Overlay Tunnel Manager
     1. Creates and maintains overlay tunnels between configured TEPs
2. Modules providing commonly used functions as shared services to avoid duplication of code and waste of resources.
   • Aliveness Monitor
     1. Provides tunnel/nexthop aliveness monitoring services
   • ID Manager
     1. Generates persistent unique integer IDs
   • MD-SAL Utils
     1. Provides common generic APIs for interaction with MD-SAL

Overview & Design Architecture:

How to test

This feature provides REST to configure the ITM, Interface, ID manager. The tests have to include:

...

• sudo ovs-vsctl add-br bridge_name
• sudo ovs-vsctl set bridge bridge_name protocols=OpenFlow13
• sudo ovs-vsctl set-controller bridge_name tcp:${CONTROLLER_IP}:6633
• sudo ifconfig bridge_name up
• sudo ovs-vsctl add-port bridge_name tap_port -- set Interface tap_port type=tap
• sudo ovs-vsctl set-manager tcp:${CONTROLLER_IP}:6640
