Overview
This project adds Integrated System Integrated System (IS-IS) Protocol as a southboundplug-inin ONOS controller to collect the topology information of the network. This network topology can be used by other applications like PCE.
Proposed work
Add ISIS South Bound plugin to learn the Link state topology of the network and update ONOS "iptopology" app along with the TE information. Implement ISIS Controller, which acts as an ISIS Router to listen to the Link State PDU (LSP) being exchanged between the various routers in the network. A channel handler will be created for each ISIS Interface session to maintain the state machine and state of each neighboring router. Implement ISIS message handler, which will encode and decode ISIS messages between ONOS ISIS SBI and ISIS Neighbor on network. Currently the Point-to-Point and Broadcast networks will be supported. Support for multi-level (Level 1, Level 2) will be provided. Implement ISIS topology provider to update "iptopology" app when any node or link gets added/deleted or modified. All communication between ISIS Linkstate provider and ONOS Core/app uses Provider Service interface.
