Frenetic

An open-source SDN controller platform.

Build Status

Installation

You can install the latest release from OPAM using the following command:

$ opam install frenetic

To install the async subpackage, simply ensure that async is installed before or after installing the library:

$ opam install async

Development

To build from source, first ensure that you've installed all dependencies, which are listed in the _oasis file under the netkat, async, and quickcheck Library sections. To install dependencies that are part of the Frenetic project, you may want to install a custom OPAM repository maintained that the Frenetic project maintains.

$ opam repository add frenetic https://github.com/frenetic-lang/opam-bleeding.git
$ opam update

Once that's done, packages that are part of the Frenetic project will be installed from the HEAD of their master branch on github. Install those packages and then build and install Frenetic using the following commands:

./configure --enable-tests --enable-quickcheck --enable-async
$ make
$ make test
$ make install

Usage Example

Here's how to create a controller that will do simple forwarding for a tree topology with fanout 2 and depth 2:

open Core.Std
open Async.Std

let main () =
  let static = Async_NetKAT.create_from_file "examples/tree-2-2.kat" in
  Async_NetKAT_Controller.start static () in

never_returns (Scheduler.go_main ~main ())

The static policy can be found in examples/tree-2-2.kat. Use the following command to run mininet with the topology for this example:

$ sudo mn --controller=remote --mac --topo=tree,2,2
