The Control Orchestration Procotol (COP) abstracts a set of control plane functions used by an SDN Controller, allowing the interworking of heterogenous control plane paradigms (i.e., OpenFlow, GMPLS/PCE).
The COP is defined using YANG models and RESTCONF. We provide the YANG models and a set of tools to process the YANG models and obtain the necessary classes and interfaces that will support the COP. These tools are contributed in OpenSourceSDN.org EAGLE. Please check the following branches:
The COP YANG models are available for discussion to research community. Up to now three YANG models have been discussed:
The COP has been forked from FP7 STRAUSS project project. It is currently being used, updated and mantained by H2020 5G-Crosshaul project.
