Managing SXP-capable devices using OpenDaylight

Source-Group Tag eXchange Protocol (SXP) is used in most Cisco devices to handle the binding between the IP address and the secure group tag. SXP consider the source groups as endpoints connecting to the network. Those source groups have common network policies applied and configured. The SXP project in OpenDaylight is used to handle the binding information between the IP address and the Secure Group Tagging (SGT) of each endpoint's connection.
