2011 has been an exciting year for Openflow and software defined networking (SDN). Continuing my informal series on Openflow, I recently got the chance to have a conversation with Nicira CTO Martin ...

This session will focus on the impact caused on existing network security by the introduction of SDN and how to leverage this new technology to make networks more secure without increasing complexity.

Belief in OpenFlow-based software-defined networking is coalescing rapidly, the latest evidence being the overflow crowds at last week’s Open Networking Summit in Santa Clara, Calif., and new details ...

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 ...

Some say OpenFlow and software-defined networking are more useful to huge data center-driven companies and network operators than to the enterprise As most participants at the inaugural Open ...

Researchers can adjust network infrastructure to boost bandwidth, optimize latency and save power using an experimental technology called OpenFlow. OpenFlow is in the proof-of-concept stage but ...

If OpenFlow can get to this level of pragmatic functionality, simplify network architectures, and streamline network operations it may be a “sure thing.” If OpenFlow gets “embraced and extended,” ...
