Supporting slicing in Nox should be fairly straightforward, however
integrating with existing components (e.g. routing) may be a bit more of
a chore.
Holly, can you say a bit about what you want to do with slicing?

Hi Holly,
AFAIK, the page is up-to-date. You have 3 options if you want to try
slicing with NOX.
1) Use the FlowVisor. There is a version that supports slicing there.
2) Use the OpenFlow message event in NOX, that passes up all OpenFlow
messages in NOX. Yes, this is ugly. The event is more geared for
those who want to handle raw messages.
3) Port slicing into NOX and we would be glad to take a patch.
I personally prefer the third solution for selfish reasons, but
options one and two are definitely workable. Option one is what we
used to test slicing in our network before release.
Hope this is helpful.

KK

Hi All,
I've currently grabbed a copy of the NOX branch with Openflow 1.0 from
the instructions I found at
(http://www.openflowswitch.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_1.0_release_notes)
git clone git://noxrepo.org/nox
cd nox
git checkout -b <branch_name> origin/openflow-1.0
At the bottom of the page it says that this does not expose slicing or
64-bit datapath ID. Is this because slicing has not been intragated
into the NOX controller yet (or maybe it has but this page hasn't been
updated)? Has anyone exposed the slicing functionality on their own?
Any advice would be appreciated as I'm wondering about the difficulty
of tackling this for a project.
Thanks!
Holly
