Overview of this book

OpenFlow paves the way for an open, centrally programmable structure, thereby accelerating the effectiveness of Software-Defined Networking. Software-Defined Networking with OpenFlow, Second Edition takes you through the product cycle and gives you an in-depth description of the components and options that are available at each stage. The aim of this book is to help you implement OpenFlow concepts and improve Software-Defined Networking on your projects. You will begin by learning about building blocks and OpenFlow messages such as controller-to-switch and symmetric and asynchronous messages. Next, this book will take you through OpenFlow controllers and their existing implementations followed by network application development. Key topics include the basic environment setup, the Neutron and Floodlight OpenFlow controller, XORPlus OF13SoftSwitch, enterprise and affordable switches such as the Zodiac FX and HP2920. By the end of this book, you will be able to implement OpenFlow concepts and improve Software-Defined Networking in your projects.

Software-Defined Networks

This chapter provides a solid foundation for Software-Defined Networking (SDN) concepts and other supporting technologies. Its characteristics are covered in this chapter as well as the various applications of SDN on production networks. Finally, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), a concept often mixed up with SDN, is explored and the differences between SDN and NFV are explained in details.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • What is SDN?
  • SDN use cases
  • NFV
