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.

Brocade said its data center and local area network (LAN) switches now support OpenFlow, the popular open protocol ... The essence of SDN is separation of network control plane from the packet ...

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 ...
