Introduction

Network engineers will tell you that, out of the box, OpenDaylight provides you with the features and tools you'll need to deploy your application; however, many will want to tweak their deployment.

The recipes in this chapter are devoted to network engineers, system builders, and integrators; the people who need to make their OpenDaylight deployment integrate even closer with their organization.
