Exploring the concept called the "OpenFlow Microcontroller" where an OpenFlow controller runs in its own VM, isolated from embedded software.

OpenFlow controllers are central components of SDN as they capture control information from OpenFlow-enabled switches to centrally manage networks.

While updating our directory of open-source projects, specifically the list of OpenFlow Controllers, we came across a framework called FlowER ...

In an OpenFlow network, the various control plane functions of an L2 switch — Spanning Tree Protocol, MAC address learning, etc. — are determined by server software rather than switch firmware ...

A commercial version of Floodlight, the vendor's OpenFlow controller, will follow later this year, Big Switch says.

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.

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 ...

But OpenFlow’s 1.1 standard is really about standardizing the interface between the hardware and the controller. Now what about from the controller, or the network operating system, northbound?

The RYU OpenFlow controller which supports OpenFlow 1.2 has been confirmed as working with Pica8’s current PicaOS. For the test we used the reference documents released by Pica8 last week.
