Software-Defined Networking Using OpenFlow: Protocols, Applications and Architectural Design Choices

Wolfgang Braun and Michael Menth    

Resumen

We explain the notion of software-defined networking (SDN), whose southbound interface may be implemented by the OpenFlow protocol. We describe the operation of OpenFlow and summarize the features of specification versions 1.0?1.4. We give an overview of existing SDN-based applications grouped by topic areas. Finally, we point out architectural design choices for SDN using OpenFlow and discuss their performance implications.
