Developing Software-Defined Networks with Floodlight controller

Floodlight is another SDN controller developed in Java. Floodlight is more compact and easier to start with.

Getting ready

First download Floodlight controller. You may simply download a Floodlight virtual machine (VM) from http://www.projectfloodlight.org/download/.

Alternatively, you may download the source code archive from Floodlight and build it:

$ wget https://github.com/floodlight/floodlight/archive/v1.2.zip

Many open source Java projects such as OpenDaylight and ONOS are built using Apache Maven. You may install Maven in Ubuntu/Debian based systems using the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install maven

Floodlight requires Apache Ant in addition to Apache Maven for its build. You may install Ant using the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install ant
