Detailed Description

A Module which accepts connections from Switches and spawns SwitchAdapter Modules for them.

The SwitchAdapter wraps each OpenFlow capable switch as a ZMF Module instance. An OpenFlow switch connects to a SwitchAdapter instance as it would normally connect to a controller.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SwitchAdapterServer::SwitchAdapterServer	(	const uint64_t	instanceId,
		const of_version_t	openFlowVersion,
		const Poco::Net::SocketAddress	serverAddress,
		const bool	flushStreamToSwitchesEveryMessage,
		const bool	startAsMock
	)

Constructs (but does not start) a SwitchAdapterServer.

Parameters

instanceId	unique id of this SwitchAdapterServer instance.
openFlowVersion	the OpenFlow version this runner and the spawned SwitchAdapters will speak with the switches.
serverAddress	the address on which a ServerSocket will be listening for switches.
flushStreamToSwitchesEveryMessage	if set to true, SwitchAdapters will flush the socket after every sent message. flushing may affect throughput negatively but can decrease latency. Flushing also prevents messages from waiting in the queue when no message follow after it.

SwitchAdapterServer::~SwitchAdapterServer

(

)

Destructor. Stops all SwitchAdapters and closes the ServerSocket.

Member Function Documentation

void SwitchAdapterServer::disable ( )

virtual

closes the serverSocket, shuts down all child SwitchAdapter modules.

bool SwitchAdapterServer::enable ( )

virtual

starts a ServerSocket listening for incoming switchConnections. For each incoming connection, an OpenFlow handshake is attempted. If the handshake is successful, a SwitchAdapter(Module) is started.

Returns

true if started successfully, false else (could not bind ServerSocket)
