      Description

      As a deployer or a device vendor, I would like ONOS to better support use of multiple protocols for its fixed-function subsystems, so that I can broaden the support of existing devices and protocols.

      Implementation Notes:

      • Modify the fixed-function code subsystems to have a fallback provider for when there is no matching one for the specified DeviceId URI scheme
        Default*Provider, for FlowRule, Group, Meter, Packet
      • These fallback providers would utilize the DriverService to determine whether the drivers for the subject device support the appropriate behaviour and if so, engage that behaviour
      • A set of handler behaviours would be defined as an analog of their corresponding provider interfaces
        • PacketProvider would be backed by PacketEmitter
        • FlowRuleProvider would be backed by FlowRuleControl
      • etc.
      • The Default*Provider would then:
        • act as a proxy for the device driver subsystem
        • cache DriverHandler instances as necessary
