OpenFlow 2.0 doesn't formally exist yet, but one possible shape of the protocol — a more flexible take on packet switching — is starting to form. A research paper outlines the idea and sums it up ...

P4, the language that could be a successor to OpenFlow, isn't a sure thing yet, but it's certainly captured the imagination of certain vendors, particularly on the chip side. Last week, Netronome also ...

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 ...

With a new industry organization to promote it, routing protocol OpenFlow is about to give users unprecedented ease of control over the way their networks operate. OpenFlow enables software-defined ...

Will this new packet-forwarding mechanism replace OpenFlow for software-defined networking? IP packet forwarding techniques traditionally have relied on taking the shortest path to the destination IP ...

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 ...

Some say OpenFlow and software-defined networking are more useful to huge data center-driven companies and network operators than to the enterprise As most participants at the inaugural Open ...

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln (which you admittedly don’t often get to do in a technology blog), “God must have loved standards because he made so many of them.” That sentiment is nowhere more evident ...
