• Fully dynamic run-time standardized BGP configuration

• Read-only access to all RIBs

• Read-write programmable RIBs

• Read-only reachability/link-state topology view

PCEP Plugin

The OpenDaylight Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) plugin provides all basic service units necessary to build-up a PCE-based controller.
