gRPC is a Google open-source project which provides efficient language-agnostic communication. It utilizes two key technologies: protocol buffers to provide efficient serialization for transmission, and http/2 for asynchronous communication. The result is highly efficient communication that enables off-platform applications to interact with ONOS with minimal cost.

Protocol Buffer guide (NOTE: we will be using proto3)
http/2 guide (RFC) (NOTE: only a basic understanding of http/2 is required to work on this)
Design Document (Currently draft)
Weekly meeting time is Tuesday from 10am to 11am Korea Standard Time (Monday 6pm - 7pm Pacific Standard Time).
gRPC will enable more ONOS apps to be moved off-platform consuming fewer system resources and providing a degree of isolation to reduce the chances of a fault in an application effecting the system as a whole.
