[spp] [PATCH v4 00/14] spp-ctl: SPP controller with Web API

[Yasufumi Ogawa]

> From: Itsuro Oda <oda at valinux.co.jp>
> 
> spp-ctl is a SPP controller with a REST like web API.
> 
> spp-ctl maintains the connections from the SPP processes and at
> the same time exposes the API for the user to request for the
> SPP processes.
> 
> Background and motivation:
> 
> Current CLI (spp.py/spp_vf.py) can be used by intaractive only.
> Therefore, spp-agent, a component of networking-spp which make
> SPP available on OpenStack environment, implements SPP controller
> in itself. (see. https://github.com/openstack/networking-spp )
> 
> Either CLI or spp-agent, there is a problem that other people can
> not request to SPP processes while using. spp-ctl is invented to
> solve this problem.
> 
> Both CLI and spp-agent can be used spp-ctl to request SPP
> processes instead of owning contoroller itself. In that case,
> multiple people can request to SPP processes at the same time.
> Note that spp-agent has a plan to change to use spp-ctl.
> It is also available not using CLI but requesting spp-ctl
> directly.
Thanks a lot!
