NOX is an open-source OpenFlow controller. Its purpose is to provide a simplified platform for writing network control software in C++ or Python. While still under heavy development, NOX is currently used in a number of large production network deployments. New users can learn more from the NOX development mailing list.

I installed Redmine for bug and feature tracking of NOXrepo.  The URL is http://noxrepo.org:8080/redmine/.  It would be very helpful if feature requests and bugtreport where filed with Redmine so we can keep track of them.  Let us know if you have any problems with the registration process.

Web page update and NOX core release

Maintaining the website through Sphinx was just too onerous.  So we decided to steal a leaf from the OpenFlow folks and build the website around WordPress.  Hopefully this will catalyze the writing of more public documentation.

Also, we’ve split out a minimal NOX release we’re calling NOX core.  It contains python bindings, a C++ switch, and some simple python examples.  The goal is to provide a much more manageable release for those new to NOX or who don’t plan to use the functionality provided in the existing set of applications.  You can download it from the following link: nox-0.4.0~core~beta.tar.gz.
