OpenFlow
OpenFlow is an open standard that allows you to run experimental protocols in production networks. Information about OpenFlow:
- The OpenFlow Standard.
- The Open Networking Foundation, a nonprofit organization promoting and supporting Software-Defined Networking standards (such as OpenFlow).
- How OpenFlow relates to SDN
- A 2016 State of OpenFlow and SDN report.
The following pages have information about OpenFlow in GENI:
- SDN at InstaGENI racks.
- GENI supports OpenFlow 1.0 and OpenFlow 1.3. See the GENI Aggregate page for a detailed list of which OF version is supported at a particular site.
- For detail on how to configure your OpenFlow 1.3 controller for HP Switches see these instructions.
- An example topology of a campus OpenFlow network, designed to allow experimenters to access the GENI network core in a variety of ways depending on their needs.
- Information about various OpenFlow controller software options.
- Tips for debugging OpenFlow control paths.
- Operators can use the layer 1 transport system to set up administrative flows for providing transport through OpenFlow switches.
- For detail on how to configure your OpenFlow 1.3 controller for HP Switches see these instructions.
Historical links that capture the earlier GENI approach to OpenFlow Support:
- A summary of OpenFlow deployments in GENI.
- Information about the GENI network core, a set of OpenFlow-capable switches in Internet2.
- A procedure for testing OpenFlow in the GENI backbone, which we run after upgrades to the backbone OF software suite.
- Information about FOAM, the FlowVisor OpenFlow Aggregate manager, which sites in GENI use to allow experimenters to allocate OpenFlow resources.
We continue to add additional pages; if there are any in particular that you'd like to see, let us know.
