OpenFlow provides controllers of the network to determine the flow of network packets over a network of switches. Controllers are separate from switches. The Internet Engineering Task Force created and standardized the NETCONF network management protocol. NETCONF offers processes for installing, modifying, and deleting network device configurations. OpenFlow is a communications protocol that allows remote access of a network to a network switch or router’s forwarding plane. Controllers are separate from switches. It was initially defined as t ...

What is OpenFlow? ; OpenFlow, an open source standard supported by many vendors, is the first software defined networking (SDN) control protocol. It separates the control plane (decision-making) from the forwarding plane (packet routing). OpenFlow is currently in version 1.5 of the specification. It is maintained by the Open Network Foundation. OpenFlow is a network control protocol. Network traffic does not go through the OpenFlow protocol. Instead, OpenFlow sends the control signals that tell the network switches how to route the network traf ...
