Hi, All do you have any opensource controllers to recommand？ since XCP don''t have a controller to control OVS centrally,i need a controller like vswitch controller for xenserver. there are so many open source openflow controller, i really don''t know which one to choose. thanks in advance[?] _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
I am biased as the author of Beacon (http://www.beaconcontroller.net/), but I have been using it with a cluster of 80 XenServer machines running OVS, interconnected by physical OpenFlow switches for over a year.

Great performance and probably the most featureful of the open-source controllers. If you want to get hacking on stuff really fast then there is NOX which though not as tanky as Beacon lets you write extensions in Python, which is imo a big plus. There is also this project which I am yet to try out but it looks interesting: https://github.com/trema It seems to be the remnants of the NEC Helios controller. (which to my knowledge was never available anywhere).> > On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 7:57 PM, yue wang <heuye.wang@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, All >> >> do you have any opensource controllers to recommand？ >> since XCP don''t have a controller to control OVS centrally,i need a >> controller like vswitch controller for xenserver. >> there are so many open source openflow controller, i really don''t know >> which one to choose. >> >> thanks in advance[?] >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Xen-users mailing list >> Xen-users@lists.xen.org >> http://lists.xen.org/xen-users >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xen.org > http://lists.xen.org/xen-users >-- CTO | Orion Virtualisation Solutions | www.orionvm.com.au Phone: 1300 56 99 52 | Mobile: 0428 754 846 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
I have also been looking for a good opensource controller so I was interested in this thread. Is there a binary version for Centos 5/6 available. The link I followed just provided source code and instructions for building within the eclipse IDE.

Hi Jon- There are ''binaries'' available, see https://openflow.stanford.edu/display/Beacon/Releases I encourage you to make sure you are running the latest Oracle JDK/JRE 6 release.
