      This looks pretty interesting as im looking into learnng SDN and would be better simulation;) will do my research but let me know how to meet up and work on it together;)

        Hi, fgharianinovell, thanks for the interesting first.

        I planed to work on ZODIAC FX board, (https://northboundnetworks.com/products/zodiac-fx), so this won't be a simulation, it will be a real SDN network, add-emoji

        There is a similar blog working on it too(https://blog.cyberreboot.org/building-a-software-defined-network-with-raspberry-pis-and-a-zodiac-fx-switch-97184032cdc1), I plan to try it on opensuse though.

        If you want to join, which is great, could you work on the stuff about configure "ryu" in a RP3 board. You could reserve one from our orthos, I can focus on Zodiac FX boot up and firmware update, then merge your stuff to build this area network.

        I am not quite familiar with "ryu", so your help would be quite helpful to me. I believe the most difficult work should be "control node", then setup two clients for verification.

        We can make it work at first, then we can working on package stuff for ryu and related dependency. what do you say?

        For contact, we can use email, irc(#virt lyan) or Pidgin. I work remotely in KY, Eastern Time Zone.

      Thanks! yes most surely:) according to orthos team, there are not RP3 to setup. so I have hands on one RP3 from a colleague I was playing with today and tried to hack into, and will look into more for Ryu ;) we can communicate also through IRC (fghariani) or email, Im located in NUE-DE and keep you updated ;) happy hacking!

      Kind Understand the relationship between Faucet, Ryu, Poseidon now. add-emoji Faucet is the real controller, an app of Ryu. Poseidon is an assistant app, data processing, help build better openflow tables for Faucet. Also look into openflow 1.3 for a little bit(1.5 is latest). Good learn so far!

      goody! Hacking RPi3 with two different distributions (testing SLES for ARM RPi3), found bugs with needed packages, building the first application with ryu :) playing with the controller and learning about SDN so far ! still need a white box switch for testing;)
