5. Decoupling of the control and data planes of the network
to improve efficiency. Communication from a SDN
controller via a protocol to network devices both physical
and virtual.
Automation
Dynamic Networks
Security
Heterogeneous Management
Abstractions allow for programmable networks.
Network can be changed quickly via a controller
Network offerings can match virtualization offerings for
finer grained security in a highly volatile compute
landscape.
Single control point for various devices.

Software Defined Networking Overview

7. OpenFlow enables networks to
evolve, by giving a remote
controller the power to modify
the behavior of network
devices, through a well-
defined "forwarding instruction
set". The growing OpenFlow
ecosystem now includes
routers, switches, virtual
switches, and access points
from a range of vendors.
Open Flow

8. Open vSwitch is a production quality,
multilayer virtual switch licensed under the
open source Apache 2.0 license. It is
designed to enable massive network
automation through programmatic extension,
while still supporting standard management
interfaces and protocols (e.g. NetFlow,
sFlow, SPAN, RSPAN, CLI, LACP, 802.1ag).

12. Significant Industry Investment in Open SDN

13. “…the future of technological innovation is not
stealing limited resources away from one another,
but creating new resources — and new
opportunities to create new resources — together in
a rich ecosystem.”
Allison Randal
Open Source Hacker
Former OSCON Program Chair

19. What’s Different About OpenDaylight?
• Supports a wide range of use cases
(similar to Linux’s reach)
• Takes a modular/approach to architecture
• Supports the full range of hardware that
may exist in an operator’s environment
(supports multiple southbounds)
• Has an infrastructure built around the
abstraction layer
One platform to align the industry that...
