Dragonflow support SDN ToR Hardware requirements

Add SDN ToR Hardware In

There are several model of SDN ToR Hardwares support OVSDB/OpenFlow/RPC we want to add it to our sdn solution to achieve automated underlay network provisioning, like automated create VTEP, translation between vlan and vxlan. does Hierarchical Port Binding (SDN ToR) features can really achieve the goal?

Automatic Topology Discovery

Including SDN ToR Hardware and compute node server,should dynamic display of topology changes. for now, df support it?

Northbound API

AFAIK, Currently df doesn’t have Northbound api, right? if so, it makes third party Controllers unable to interact with df

Control SDN ToR Hardware Directly

if third party Controllers Control SDN ToR Hardware,it will have a problem on consistency of data, does it possible to Control SDN ToR Hardware Directly?
