Hi, Kyle and Robyn. I'm a core developer of Ryu. Although I don't know how this conversation has started and I'm not sure what info is desired, let me supplement. https://raw.github.com/wiki/osrg/ryu/images/details/fig6_gre-tunnel.png This figures depicts what Ryu can achieve with Openstack. As OVS supports vxlan now, Ryu can easily use vxlan instead of gre. Ryu Fedora package is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ryu/files/Packages/Fedora/ So far I've requested package review for Ryu package, but not yet make it into Fedora package yet. Its status is FE-NEEDSPONSOR. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909674 If necessary, I'm willing to update the package and refresh the review process. thanks, -- yamahata _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud
