As I look over the research being presented at the Sigcomm HotSDN workshop this week, I am amazed at the activity the software-defined networking (SDN), network virtualization, and specifically, ...

In SDN’s early days, possibility abounded. The thought of what could be excited practitioners and tantalized developers. OpenFlow was an early SDN star, a proof of concept from Stanford that ...

Over the past couple of years, software defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a strong alternative for IT operations in the areas of WAN, data center and overlay solutions. The primary benefit ...

The OpenFlow switching and communications protocol addresses packet routing on a software layer that's separate from a network's physical infrastructure. OpenFlow's major benefit is flexibility, ...

Over the past couple of years, software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a strong alternative to traditional networking approaches in the areas of WAN, data center networks, and network overlay ...

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter's approach. , the exciting new networking ...

OpenFlow is a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) protocol used for southbound communications from an SDN controller to and from a network device. OpenFlow is the protocol used to inform the topology of ...

The promise of bringing software-defined networking (SDN) to optical networks was a big topic at OFC this week, but you didn't have to dive down far to see how difficult that task is going to be.

For example, a fixed pipeline for IP routing, policy routing or an MPLS flow could be made consistent across any ASIC implementation. OpenFlow 1.3 introduced the concept of multi-tables and methods to ...
