Introduction
This is a release plan for Table Type Patterns. The project goals for this release are:
to support live OpenFlow control through a TTP-constrained OpenFlow API
to offer a utility that supports comparison and matching of "flow-match-actions" between two TTPs
to provide an ability for developers to leverage the comparison utility to map "app TTPs" to "device TTPs"
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) |
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 |
TTP 1.1 support (tentative) | via updated YANG model | adopt changes as needed from to-be-published TTP 1.1 spec |

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.
Short Name | Description | Type (at M2) | Type (at M3) | Type (release) | Contract | Supporting Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
TTP YANG model | Model for TTPs, DB of avail. TTPs, augmentation to nodes providing active and supported TTPs | Stable (may be some edits) | Stable (may be some edits) | Stable | none now | |
TTP Driver | At least one app to device TTP driver | Tentative | Provisional | Dropped | none yet, likely using DIDM API | none now |
Pipeline Snippet Utilities | Tools create, chain, use TTPs as pipeline snippets | Tentative | Dropped | Dropped | none yet | none now |
