WHAT IS AN API REQUEST? REST API request is an HTTP method. It lets you send a request from an endpoint to your server (controller). You can use it if you want to retrieve some information from the server or connected device, or if you want to do some changes Read more…
We will show you how to integrate your favorite OpenDaylight module into lighty.io, using this guide and an OpenFlow module example!
lighty.io has been enabling OpenDaylight (ODL) components and applications to run in various environments and frameworks. Those components and applications have never been useable by ODL developers before. Spring.io is a popular java ecosystem for application developers. Wouldn’t it be perfect to enable lighty.io for Spring as the target runtime environment Read more…
Do you need an SDN controller that you can run quickly? Is security one of your concerns? Do you need to divide the users into groups & restrict their capabilities for certain tasks? With lighty.io AAA, you can create password-protected users. You can assign a role and a domain and Read more…
Full NETCONF/RESTCONF controller integration test under 12s! Can your SDN controller do that? With lighty.io – you can. Just like in a high-performance sports car world, the drag race is used to set winners and losers apart. Faster is better, it is as simple as that. In SDN business, you Read more…
In the contemporary SDN world, ONAP (Open Network Automation Platform) is quite a trend. ONAP is a big project composed of a number of sub-projects (or components if you like), which together form a platform for orchestration and automation of network functions. There are big companies involved in ONAP and Read more…
OpenFlow enables network controllers to determine the path of network packets across a network of switches. Controllers are different from switches. Separation of control from the forwarding allows for more sophisticated traffic management than is feasible using access control lists (ACLs) and routing protocols. Also, OpenFlow allows switches from different Read more…
Update 13/8/2019: lighty TransportPCE Controller is now available in the OpenDaylight upstream! The migration of an OpenDaylight application to lighty.io is simple and straightforward. In this post, we are going to show you how to do this with help of the TransportPCE OpenDaylight project acting as an example. Users can find many Read more…
YANG is a data modeling language, which allows modeling of Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). YANG is widely used in networking for modeling configurational and operational data of network devices (more than just routers and switches). These devices also implement some of the well-defined protocols for transport of the data modeled Read more…
lighty.io components are versatile and reusable in different scenarios. Let’s take a closer look at the lighty-netconf-device java library. This lighty.io component represents a fully programmable NETCONF communication stack, which can be integrated with hardware to achieve interoperability with lighty.io NETCONF – RESTCONF controllers. The lighty-netconf-device library implements a server Read more…
