Initial check-in of gribi.v1 #8

Closed robshakir closed 3 years ago

robshakir commented 3 years ago

This change imports the initial definition of gRIBI v1.x.x to the repository.

v0.x.x is accessible through using the v0.1.0 tag (which can be managed by using Go modules for such consumers). v1.x.x represents a set of backwards incompatible changes to be made in the protocol, and expanded functionality.

Particularly, there are a number of larger changes:

Changes to the AFT model are made through patches that are included in this repo. These patches are to be upstreamed once a stable version of gRIBI 1.x is defined. HEAD is subject to some change until a subsequent release indicating v1.x.x is defined.

In the development phase, git tags of the form devel-vX.Y.Z will be used to allow users to pin to a specific version.

Akin to P4Runtime, a service name of gribi.v1 (and a repo structured around this model) is used such that if a v2 is ever required, then different services can be exposed by a network element.
