[openstack-dev] Ryu integration with Openstack

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I am trying to run a custom Ryu app from the nova
compute node and have all the openvswitches connected to this new
controller. However, to be able to run this new app, I have to first stop
the existing neutron openvswitch agents in the same node as they run Ryu
app (integrated in Openstack) by default. Ryu in Openstack provides basic
functionalities like L2 switching but does not support launching a custom
app at the same time.
I'd like to have a single instance of Ryu controller control all the
openvswtich instances rather than having openvswitch agents in each node
managing the openvswitches separately. For this, I'll probably have to
migrate the existing functionality provided by Ryu app to this new app of
mine. Could you share some suggestions or are you aware of any previous
work done towards this, that I can read about?

Regards,
Niket
