The same holds true for OpenFlow. Yes, it could change the dynamics of networking but most users want switches and routers that just work. If OpenFlow can get to this level of pragmatic functionality, ...

Researchers can adjust network infrastructure to boost bandwidth, optimize latency and save power using an experimental technology called OpenFlow. OpenFlow is in the proof-of-concept stage but ...

APIs and messaging protocols, including some that are standards, can let users build software-defined networks today. The key issue, though, is that not everyone implements the same ones or implements ...

I wrote the first draft of OpenFlow and in early 2007, we started working on our first controller network operating system, and I have been involved in the drafting of OpenFlow since. As far as Nicira ...
