In connection with the previous experiment, we will try to conduct the same experiment (host-1 ping host-3) to achieve similar results with an SDN switch & learn the differences. An L2 Switch is a ...

Abstract: Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which separates the control plane and data plane, is a promising new network architecture for the Future Internet. OpenFlow is the de facto standard which ...

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 and ...

Over the past couple of years, software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a strong alternative to traditional networking approaches in the areas of WAN, data center networks, and network overlay ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: In an OpenFlow network, the controller is responsible to control and manage the whole network. Although such central control paradigm is easier to achieve efficient network resources usage, ...

Computer networks have historically evolved box by box, with individual network elements occupying specific ecological niches as routers, switches, load balancers, network address translations (NATs), ...

On the heels of my post about Cumulous Networks last week, I had a chance to chat with Stu Bailey, founder and CTO of Infoblox, about the future of networking, and specifically OpenFlow. Stu is ...

The trouble with TCAMs However, as the benefits of OpenFlow expanded in scope and capabilities (including control plane disaggregation and open networking), the scaling of OpenFlow tables became a ...
