Setup Nox repo for ‘nox-dependencies’ package

Instead of swapping labels it is injecting JSON mappings through a REST API and orchestrated from the ingress controller just like an LSR would define the FEC on entry. If we think about it, the OpenFlow classification of a stitched route through and OF network is not far off from a LSP FEC stitching through a label swapped domain. There is a NANOG presentation that Scott Whyte described his MPLS LSR which was QUAGGA w/LDP support. I am assuming it is similar to what I expect Google did in their deployment. It feels like a route server approach on QUAGGA which is pretty neat. RouteFlow has support for Nox now which is a project I am going to be in the lab on pretty heavy over the next few days to try and nail down a good native IGP -> SDN FIB exchange. Nox has an amazing backing from Nicira so that is critical also. That said I like Floodlight a lot and the community is active with BidSwitch behind it. It is important to have readily available Nox controllers since most of the projects are built on that controller. The Nox “classic” build seems to have been dormant or not maintained for a while from what I can tell. Classic doesn’t seem to build without downgrading everything on Precise.

It isn’t fully released but the site said Q1 2012, at the least, it will be a base to work from on 12.04. It was just upped a couple weeks ago to Github with the new repo linked from. This is an install for the newer NOX release on Ubuntu 12.04.
