Open Networking Operating System (ONOS) ML2 MechanismDriver
==========================================================
ONOS is a carrier grade SDN open operating system designed for
High Availability, scale-out and better performance.

    http://www.onosproject.org/

Mode of Working:
================
The networking-onos project provides a thin layer which makes the
communication between ONOS and OpenStack neutron possible via ReST
call. The driver code can be downloaded from:

    https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/networking-onos

Using ONOS ML2 MechanismDriver
==============================
To use ONOS ML2 MechanismDriver one should
1. Make sure networking-onos code is downloaded and installed. If doing
   mannually then download the code, go inside networking_onos folder
   and finally run "sudo python setup.py install" otherwise download the
   required package version from "https://pypi.python.org/pypi/networking-onos/"
   and install using pip.

2. Configure ONOS as the required ML2 "mechanism_drivers" in
   neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini:

    mechanism_drivers=onos_ml2

3. Configure ONOS credentials in networking_onos/etc/conf_onos.ini.

4. Start neutron server mentioning networking_onos/etc/conf_onos.ini as
   one of the config-file.
