What is OpenFlow? OpenFlow is a programmable network protocol designed to manage and direct traffic among routers and switches from various vendors.

An SDN research paper points toward what could become OpenFlow 2.0, a protocol that's given more leeway for changing the underlying switches.

An OpenFlow 1.2 compliant switch could match on IP protocol number (Ethernet type 0x86dd = IPv6), IPv6 source/destination address, traffic class, flow label, and ICMPv6 types/codes.

Spirent launches Spirent TestCenter OpenFlow, the industry’s first solution to offer protocol emulation along with the ability to benchmark flow scal ...

SDN can bring newfound visibility to broadband services, particularly through use of the OpenFlow and IPFIX protocols.

OpenFlow began at a consortium of universities, led by Stanford and Berkeley, as a way for researchers to use enterprise-grade Ethernet switches as customizable building blocks for academic networking ...

Nicira CTO Martin Casado, who created the popular OpenFlow protocol, says virtual switches are a better tool for network automation and programmability.

OpenFlow is a protocol that separates the control of a switch from the switch itself. The high-level control of a switch, which includes packet routing and so on, is moved to a centralised server.

Meru Networks says it has received the first certificate of conformance for a wireless LAN manufacturer given by the Open Networking Foundation for the ability of its mobility access controllers ...
