Expected Incompatibilities with Other Projects

NetVirt 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.

UNIMgr

Test Tools Requirements

System Test

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

netvirt: test suites
scalability tests: TBD

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