OpenFlow 2.0 doesn't exist yet, but Nick McKeown, Jennifer Rexford, and other researchers have crafted their vision of what it could be. It involves even more flexible switches that March 04, 2014 By ...

That TCAM using software has been modified through either a HAL or some encoder like software algorithm to expand the width of the TCAM for OpenFlow lookups. Figure 1. 12-Tuples of headers.

If OpenFlow defines one interface that exists between, say, a controller and the forwarding hardware, that could potentially be an interface that applications could directly communicate with.

OF-DPA defines and implements a hardware abstraction layer that maps Broadcom’s StrataXGS switch chipsets to OpenFlow 1.3.1 switches and pipelines. The pipelines are a basic part of the OpenFlow ...

OpenFlow was demonstrated late last year at the ninth GENI Engineering Conference (GEC9) in Washington, D.C. NEC was showing off its implementation, and an OpenFlow switch startup, Big Switch ...
