An SDN research paper points toward what could become OpenFlow 2.0, a protocol that's given more leeway for changing the underlying switches.

OpenFlow - What Every Switch Product Manager Should Know - what does network virtualization, software-defined networking &SDN mean to you.

SDN has great potential, but OpenFlow was initially limited by its dependence on expensive memory devices. New ASICs have changed all that ...

Interop 2011 could have been called The OpenFlow Show. Vendors were hawking OpenFlow switches and controllers, and a lab demonstration on the show floor displayed the traffic management technique ...

OpenFlow is designed to provide consistency in traffic management and engineering by making this control function independent of the hardware it’s intended to control.

HP has released updates to let 16 of its switches support OpenFlow software-defined networking technology, which could eventually allow businesses to reconfigure their networks more easily and ...

New support for Table Type Patterns in OpenFlow lifts the ceiling on large deployments and enables interoperability across devices ...

OpenFlow, the exciting new networking technology recently bursting out of academia and into industry, has generated considerable buzz since Interop Las Vegas 2011, which has been called "The ...

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 ...

An OpenFlow-like approach to networking was not really possible until recently, not just because the idea is novel, but because network hardware was not capable enough to handle traffic in this way.

Brocade said its data center and local area network (LAN) switches now support OpenFlow, the popular open protocol for software defined networking (SDN). The San Jose, California-based networking ...
