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. OpenFlow, the exciting new ...

IP Infusion is a pioneer in SDN with more than a decade of experience developing software-based routing and switching solutions. IP Infusion's ZebOS Control Plane — a core component of the ZebOS ...

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 ...

Then I went to Stanford, and as part of my PhD, I looked at this problem. I first focused on security: how do you change the network architecture to be more amenable to well-defined control. Then [I ...

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 ...

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, ...

Chip maker Broadcom has announced a new specification along with software and APIs to improve the performance of OpenFlow switches and to make it easier for hardware vendors to build products.

SAN JOSE — The move to software-defined networks passedanother milestone as ADVA Optical Networking (Munich) demonstrated the OpenFlowspecification for the first time on an optically switched network.

Big Switch Networks, the startup that was once the face of software-defined networking (SDN) to many, has had it rough lately. Overlay networks have become the rage, rather than the OpenFlow protocol ...

Collaborating with network service providers, hyperscale companies, and network equipment manufacturers, Dr. Levi Perigo’s research vision is to enhance networks by making them more programmable and ...
