FAUCET is an OpenFlow controller for multi table OpenFlow 1.3 switches, that implements layer 2 switching, VLANs, ACLs, and layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 routing, static and via BGP. It is based on Waikato University's Valve <https://github.com/wandsdn/valve>
and the Ryu OpenFlow Controller <http://osrg.github.io/ryu/>
. FAUCET's design and background is described in ACM Queue <https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3015763>
_.
It supports:
Detailed guides for some switches are available on readthedocs <http://docs.faucet.nz/en/latest/vendors/index.html>
_.
Faucet's design principle is to be as hardware agnostic as possible and not require Table Type Patterns. This means that Faucet expects the hardware Open Flow Agent (OFA) to hide implementation details, including which tables are best for certain matches or whether there is special support for multicast - Faucet expects the OFA to leverage the right hardware transparently.
If you are a hardware vendor wanting to support FAUCET, you need to support all the matches in faucet/faucet_pipeline.py <faucet/faucet_pipeline.py>
