        SDN Manager
        ===========
        
        The SoftFIRE SDN Manager is in charge of managing access to the SDN
        resources provided by some testbeds in SoftFIRE.
        
        The SDN Manager keeps track of the API endpoints towards the SDN proxy
        services.
        
        The SDN Manager uses the following experiment Lifecycles:
        
        -  List
        -  Provision
        -  Release
        
        Upon *list resources* the SDN manager returns a list of available SDN
        endpoints to the Experimenter.
        
        To actually use an SDN resource in an experiment an *SDNResource* has to
        be included in the experiment descripton that matches a resource ID
        returned by *list resources*.
        
        Currently supported SDN Endpoints¶
        ----------------------------------
        
        Each testbed can provide a different implementation of SDN resources.
        The current version of the SoftFIRE SDN middleware provides access to
        two types of SDN controllers:
        
        -  The Frauhofer FOKUS testbed uses its own implementation of an SDN
           controller named OpenSDNCore.
        -  The Ericsson testbed provides access to OpenDayLight SDN controllers.

        For more information on how to use the SDN resources visit the
        `documentation`_.
        
        Technical Requirements
        ----------------------
        
        The SDN Manager requires Python 3.5 or higher.
        
        Installation and configuration
        ------------------------------
        
        You can install the SDN Manager using pip:
        
        ::
        
            pip install sdn-manager
        
        and then start it with the ``sdn-manager`` command.
        
        Or you can run it from source code by cloning the git repository,
        installing the dependencies as specified in the `setup.py`_ file and
        executing the *sdn-manager* script.
        
        The SDN Manager needs a configuration file present at
        */etc/softfire/sdn-manager.ini*. An example of the configuration file
        can be found `here`_.
        
        Issue tracker

        What is SoftFIRE?
        =================
        
        SoftFIRE provides a set of technologies for building a federated
        experimental platform aimed at the construction and experimentation of
        services and functionalities built on top of NFV and SDN technologies.
        The platform is a loose federation of already existing testbed owned and
        operated by distinct organizations for purposes of research and
        development.
        
        SoftFIRE has three main objectives: supporting interoperability,
        programming and security of the federated testbed. Supporting the
        programmability of the platform is then a major goal and it is the focus
        of the SoftFIRE’s Second Open Call.
