Kytos Napp to handle the requirements of the AtlanticWave-SDX project.

Requirements

• kytos/core
• kytos/topology

Preparing the environment:

Installing Python

If you don't have Python 3 installed, please install it. Please make sure that you're using python3.6 or a later version:

$ apt install python3

Installing Docker & Kytos

Then, create a docker container to contain all your work. To download a docker image with kytos pre-installed run: :

$ docker pull kytos/nightly:latest
$ docker run -d --name kytos -p 6653:6653 -p 8181:8181 --privileged kytos/nightly:latest /usr/bin/tail -f /dev/null

Now, access a shell session inside your container:

$ docker exec -it kytos bash

Make sure kytos is running:

$ kytosd -E # run kytos in the background

or :

$ kytosd -E -f # run kytos in the foreground

Installing Mininet

Download VirtualBox and install Mininet. Then to set-up your network, run the following:

$ mn --topo linear,3 --controller=remote,ip=,port=6653

Downloading the SDX Kytos Napp

All of the Kytos Network Applications are located in the NApps online repository. To install the SDX NApp, run the following from inside the docker container:

$ kytos napps install amlight/sdx

Or we can clone directly from the Amlight Github repository via git:

$ git clone https://github.com/amlight/amlight-sdx.git
$ cd amlight-sdx
$ python3 setup.py develop

Installing swagger_client

For the whole installation process and requirements, please access the AtlanticWave SDX repo in Github: https://github.com/atlanticwave-sdx
