Table Type Patterns: Beryllium: Release Notes

Contents

Major Features

  • TTP Command Line Tools: Allow for reading, parsing, verifying, printing and analyzing TTPs as read from JSON via an executable CLI jar file.

    • Flow Path Exploration (new in Beryllium) Also present in Lithium-SR2

  • TTP Model: A YANG model for TTPs.

  • TTP Database: A database of available TTPs using the YANG model.

  • TTP Switch Augmentation: An augmentation for nodes in OpenDaylight to allow them to have zero-or-more supported TTPs and zero-or-one active TTP.

Target Environment

As per the general Beryllium release, i.e., a Java 7 or Java 8 JRE to run the tools and a Java 7 or Java 8 JDK for development.

Known Issues and Limitations

  • The TTP YANG model does not match the ONF TTP JSON precisely. Exact details are documented in the TTP model YANG file.

Bugs Fixed in this Release

  • Minor fixes to the OF-DPA 2.0 TTP json file.

Compatibility and Migration from Previous Releases

  • The TTP model is the same as in the Lithium release so any migration and/or tools should continue to work.

  • To migrate actual data, it is recommended that users back up their current TTP-related data, upgrade and then restore it like so:

    1. Do an HTTP GET to: http://localhost:8181/restconf/config/onf-ttp:opendaylight-ttps/onf-ttp:table-type-patterns/

    2. Store the result

    3. After upgrading do an HTTP PUT with the stored result and the same URL

  • You can use the same process to backup and restore any data associated with a switch, but the exact URL will vary depending on the switch and it will have to be done on a switch-by-switch basis.

Deprecated, End of Lifed, and/or Retired Features/API

  • None.
