OpenStack Folsom Design Summit

Ryu is an open-sourced Network Operating System (NOS) licensed under Apache License v2. The project URL is http://www.osrg.net/ryu/ . Ryu aims to provide a logically centralized control and well defined API that make it easy for operators to create new network management and control applications. Currently, Ryu supports OpenFlow protocol to modify the behavior of network devices. Ryu plugin for OpenStack was merged into Quantum (virtual network service) Essex. You can create tens of thousands of isolated virtual networks without using VLAN. The project goal is to develop an OSS Network Operating System that has high quality enough for use in large production environment in code quality/functionality/usability, and to become the standard network management component of OpenStack. In this talk, we will explain the overall design and future plans of Ryu, and give some demonstrations. (Session lead is Kazutaka Morita)
