Controller Modules

Controller modules implement functions that are of common use to a majority of applications, such as:

• discovering and exposing network states and events (topology, devices, flows)

• enabling controller communication with network switches (i.e., the OpenFlow protocol)

• managing Floodlight modules and shared resources such as storage, threads, tests

• a web UI and debug server (Jython)
