os_ken.app.ofctl

os_ken.app.ofctl provides a convenient way to use OpenFlow messages synchronously.

OfctlService os_ken application is automatically loaded if your OS-Ken application imports ofctl.api module.

Example:

import os_ken.app.ofctl.api

OfctlService application internally uses OpenFlow barrier messages to ensure message boundaries. As OpenFlow messages are asynchronous and some of messages does not have any replies on success, barriers are necessary for correct error handling.
