To Do

  • ARP proxy
  • Stability fixes of NOX

Retired To-Do Items

  • Attempt to decrease start times (connection and initial queries to Virtual Center)
  • Merge in more recent Nicira changes
  • Update code after merge to reflect changes in NOX
  • Refactor the application
  • Use Host/VM information returned by Virtual Center instead of hard-coded values in script/config file
  • Implement simple default routing based on sample_routing
  • Evaluate whether split-flow bug still exists after merge
  • Use external configuration file to specify servers/hosts etc
  • Do eth-rewriting at specific switches only
