[ixpmanager] IXP Manager Developer Support

[Barry O'Donovan]

Haider,

thanks for the detail below. I would suggest next time introducing 
yourself as you have below from the beginning. The cost/benefit of 
finding the time to help a student project (how it sounded to me) is 
vastly different to trying to help IXPs in Pakistan.

I'll await your reply to Martin on what you're hoping to achieve and 
then see where we can help.

Note there are a number of development emails around Laravel and SDN / 
OpenFlow / FAUCET in the archives of this mailing list. I suggest you 
start with them also and then follow up.

   - Barry
