Wed, 2 Oct 2019 16:32:15 +0000

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. it provides following major modules -

Modules providing a common view of Network interfaces for different services

Interface (logical port) Manager
- Allows bindings/registration of multiple services to logical ports/interfaces
- Ability to plugin different types of southbound protocol renderers
Overlay Tunnel Manager
- Creates and maintains overlay tunnels between configured TEPs

Modules providing commonly used functions as shared services to avoid duplication of code and waste of resources.

Aliveness Monitor
- Provides tunnel/nexthop aliveness monitoring services
ID Manager
- Generates persistent unique integer IDs for given key
MD-SAL Utils
- Provides common generic APIs for interaction with MD-SAL

In Oxygen cycle we have achieved following planned activities -

Improved ITM Tunnel mesh scale (upto 150 DPNs)
- TEP Interface to avoid creating tunnel interfaces in interface-manager, all the tunnel handling should be contained within ITM service
- Selective BFD monitoring to selectively enable BFD monitoring using config knobs
- Tunnel watch group support is use of tunnel group with watch-port set as the tunnel openflow-port
- point-to-multipoint tunnel support Use of openflow-based-tunnels without tunnel-interfaces
Other project improvements
- Interface Manager and ITM integrated with infrautils S-n-D framework to publish their operational status.
- Using new ManagedNewTransactionRunner utility everywhere there is a DataBroker
- Using new FutureRpcResults utility in every RPC
- Migrate all users of @Deprecated genius DJC to infrautils JC
- Switch to using new infrautils Cache API instead of using ConcurrentMap
- Migrate all users of @Deprecated Data Store Listeners to new ones
