Release Deliverables
Name | External API | Description |
|---|---|---|
Bug fixing | n/a | High-priority bug fixes. |
Flow_paths | CLI only | Tracking all flow management options for a TTP |
Comparison | CLI only? | Comparing Flow_paths for two separate TTPs (typically app and device level) |
TTP 1.1 support | via updated YANG model | adopt changes as needed from soon-to-be-published TTP 1.1 spec / JSON schema |
Dynamic Map (tentative) | no programmatic API | Enable human guided dynamic map of App TTP request to Device TTP |
Auto-load to TTP repository (tentative) | via TTP YANG model and augmentations | read TTPs from disk (or remote URLs) into the TTP repository |
DIDM driver (tentative) | via DIDM? | provide a DIDM driver based on the dynamic maps |
TTP pipeline snippets and composition (very tentative) | unknown, based on interest or work | provide a way to describe snippets of OpenFlow pipeline and compose them to make full pipelines originally targeting vSwitches |

Externally Consumable APIs
Note: While the CLI tool is intended for external consumption in that we expect people outside to use it, it is not intended for programmatic consumption and so the API is not listed in this table.
