This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 14.141.6.170 (talk) at 15:27, 20 April 2016 (Adding one more open source controller developed and supported by NTT Labs). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

SDN (Software-defined networking) is a new paradigm to configure and operate computer networks (especially data center networks) through a centralized software controller that dictates how the network behaves. The core of this new paradigm is the SDN controller.

Open and community driven initiatives:

  • Open Daylight (controller baseline project upon which many other controllers are built)
  • ONOS
  • Project Floodlight
  • Beacon
  • NOX/POX
  • vneio/sdnc (SDN Controller from vne.io https://github.com/vneio/sdnc)
  • Ryu Controller (supported by NTT Labs)

Vendor specific initiatives:

  • Juniper Contrail
  • Nuage Virtualized Services Controller (VSC) by Alcatel-Lucent
  • VortiQa Open Network Director by Freescale Semiconductor
