Kevin Benton 9928edb42d Refactor BigSwitch error handling to use db rollbacks This patch adjusts most of the logic handling the calls to the controller in the BigSwitch/floodlight plugin to make use of the db rollbacks from sqlalchemy for free on exceptions. This eliminates several complex try-except blocks and makes maintaining db<->controller consistency easier. Fixes: bug #1215823 Change-Id: Ia636c40e744b3b1c543e891791bf492df4f675d2		2013-08-27 05:39:10 -07:00

# Neuron REST Proxy Plug-in for Big Switch and FloodLight Controllers

This module provides a generic neutron plugin 'NeutronRestProxy' that
translates neutron function calls to authenticated REST requests (JSON supported)
to a set of redundant external network controllers.

It also keeps a local persistent store of neutron state that has been
setup using that API.

Currently the FloodLight Openflow Controller or the Big Switch Networks Controller
can be configured as external network controllers for this plugin.
