Expected Dependencies on Other Projects

Providing Project	Deliverable Name	Needed By	Acknowledged?	Description
controller	features	M3	No	basic controller features
mdsal	features	M3	No	mdsal features
neutron	features	M3	No	neutron CRUD
odlparent	features	M3	No	odlparent values
openflowplugin	features	M3	No	flow programming and extensions

Expected Incompatibilities with Other Projects

OVSDB is considered incompatible with applications that program the flow tables on vSwitches. This includes:

   GBP
   OpenDOVE
   VTN

These projects have not held discussions as to how to become compatible because they each provide their own solution to the same problem.

Compatibility with Previous Releases

Removed APIs and/or Functionality

All ADSAL APIs and functionality will be removed since they were deprecated in Lithium and all external ADSAL dependencies have been removed.

Deprecated APIs and/or Functionality

Changed APIs and/or Functionality

Themes and Priorities

Increasing code, unit and integration test coverage to improve code quality, stability and usability
Remove AD-SAL dependencies
Neutron parity
SFC integration
Additional functionality to support QoS and Queue and hw vtep

Requests from Other Projects

Active Requests

Test Tools Requirements

System Test

This project plans on using System Test (ST) inside the OpenDaylight cloud:

netvirt: test suites
the southbound piece: test suites
scalability tests: TBD
hwvtepsouthbound: TBD
ovs-sfc: TBD

Here is a wiki page presenting the CSIT jobs implemented in the integration/test project regarding some of those modules: OVSDB: CSIT

Unit Test

Netvirt: approximately 90% based on Lithium
Southbound: for now around 35%, but this is still WIP
hwvtepsouthbound: TBD
ovs-sfc: TBD

Integration Test

Southbound: done
Library: done
Netvirt: done
hwvtepsouthbound: TBD
ovs-sfc: TBD
