pathfinder is responsible for creating a graph with the latest network topology and providing rest endpoint to calculate the best path between two devices. In the network, each device is a host or a switch and each link is a connection between two devices. In the graph, each device represents a node and each link represents an edge between two nodes.

The NApp learns custom properties from the topology, being able to define the best paths based on a weighted parameter. Please see the Rest API documentation for details.

• REST API to find constrained network paths
• Keep track of the current network graph to find constrained paths
• Web UI

To install this NApp, first, make sure to have the same venv activated as you have kytos installed on:

$ git clone https://github.com/kytos-ng/pathfinder.git
$ cd pathfinder
$ python3 -m pip install --editable .

To install the kytos environment, please follow our development environment setup.
