Overview/What's Ryu the Network OS
==================================
Ryu is an open-sourced Network OS which is licensed under GPL v3.
It supports openflow protocol.
If you are not familiar with Software Defined Network(SDN) and
OpenFlow/openflow controller,
please refer to `openflow org <http://www.openflow.org/>`_ .
The mailing list is available at
`ryu-devel ML <https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ryu-devel>`_
Installing Ryu Network OS
=========================
Extract source code and just type::
% python ./setup.py install
Then, run ryu-manager.
It listens to ip address 0.0.0.0 and port 6633 by default.
Then have your openflow switch (hardware or openvswitch OVS) to connect to
ryu-manager.
For OVS case, you can done it by
% ovs-vsctl set-controller <your bridge> tcp:<ip addr>[:<port: default 6633>]
At the moment, ryu-manager supports only tcp method.
If you want to use it with openstack nova and quantum OVS plugin,
