Consider the packet header. OpenFlow ... on the physical switches, but based on what a researcher told me Monday at ONS, they've built a solid basis for the mathematics of the process.

The company said Tuesday that its stackable OmniSwitch 6900 Layer 2/3 switches will now support the OpenFlow 1.3 protocol for separating the packet forwarding and control paths. The switches will ...

Chip maker Broadcom has announced a new specification along with software and APIs to improve the performance of OpenFlow switches ... tables that provide forwarding and packet modifications.

“OpenFlow could not have served this role. It’s meant to serve a model where the control and data planes are decoupled, and in which the switch’s intelligence is limited to packet forwarding.

In the user-facing network you also need every packet ... process was conducted, naturally, with stealth — even the academics who were Google’s closest collaborators in hammering out the ...

the world's fastest and P4-programmable switch chip. Barefoot’s technology has lifted the forwarding plane logic from hardware up into software, enabling software developers to code packet ...

In the embedded hybrid mode, all the front panel ports are connected to the Ethernet switch, and the ZNYX OpenArchitect ® OS packet filtering determines which flows are passed to the embedded OpenFlow ...

In an effort to accelerate the adoption of OpenFlow for software-defined networking, Big Switch Networks this week unveiled an open source-based “thin” virtual switch for servers and commodity ...
