Hi, Please find attached the software layers in an OF Switch implementation that uses the SAI APIs. We should create an OF Abstraction Layer above the SAI APIs and define vendor-independent SAI-OF APIs that will internally make use of the SAI APIs. With the introduction of SAI-OF abstraction Layer, the switches that comply with the SAI API will also become OpenFlow enabled.

Please the following attachment. Please see the second page (Block diagram). That is what I am hoping to achieve with SAI specific TTP. I plan to define high level flow tables & group objects next week. Since many of you know OFDPA TTP from Broadcom, I will try to use similar terminology wherever I find common items.

We are thinking of defining that. But if there is something already happening, we would like to contribute to it. Please let me know. Thanks Srini
