OpenFlow is a communications protocol that gives access to the forwarding plane of a network switch or router over the network.
OpenFlow is a communications protocol that gives access to the forwarding plane of a network switch or router over the network.
== Description == OpenFlow enables network controllers to determine the path of network packets across a network of switches. The controllers are distinct from the switches. This separation of the control from the forwarding allows for more sophisticated traffic management than is feasible using access control lists (ACLs) and routing protocols. Also, OpenFlow allows switches from different vendors — often each with their own proprietary interfaces and scripting languages — to be managed remotely using a single, open protocol. The protocol's inventors consider OpenFlow an enabler of software-defined networking (SDN).
