(I am trying to keep a running list of all OpenFlow-related software
projects where either the bits or the source are available online. If
you know of one that I'm missing, please e-mail me and I'll include
it)
Switch Software and Stand-Alone OpenFlow Stacks
Open vSwitch: (C/Python) Open vSwitch is a
an OpenFlow stack that is used both as a vswitch in virtualized
environments and has been ported to multiple hardware platforms. It is
now part of the Linux kernel (as of 3.3).
OpenFlow
Reference: (C) The OpenFlow reference implementation is a minimal OpenFlow
stack that tracks the spec.
Pica8:
(C) An open switch software platform for hardware switching chips that includes an L2/L3
stack and support for OpenFlow.
Indigo:
(C) Indigo is a for-hardware-switching OpenFlow implementation based on the Stanford reference implementation.
Pantou:
(C) Pontou is an OpenFlow port to the OpenWRT wireless environment.
OpenFaucet: (Python)
OpenFaucet is a pure Python implementation of the OpenFlow 1.0.0
protocol, based on Twisted. OpenFaucet can be used to implement both
switches and controllers in Python.
OpenFlowJ:
(Java) OpenFlow stack written in Java.
Oflib-node:
(Javascript) Oflib-node is an OpenFlow protocol library for Node. It
converts between OpenFlow wire protocol messages and Javascript objects.
Nettle:
(Haskell) OpenFlow library written in Haskell.
Controller Platforms
POX: (Python)
Pox as a general SDN controller that supports OpenFlow. It has a
high-level SDN API including a queriable topology graph and support for
virtualization.
MUL: (C)
MūL, is an openflow (SDN) controller. It has a C based muli-threaded
infrastructure at its core. It supports a multi-level north bound
interface for hooking up applications. It is designed for performance
and reliability which is the need of the hour for deployment in
mission-critical networks.
NOX: (C++/Python) NOX was the
first OpenFlow controller.
Jaxon: (Java) Jaxon is a
NOX-dependent Java-based OpenFlow Controller.
Trema: (C/Ruby)
Trema is a full-stack framework for developing OpenFlow controllers in Ruby and C.
Beacon:
(Java) Beacon is a Java-based controller that supports both event-based and threaded operation.
Floodlight:
(Java) The Floodlight controller is Java-based OpenFlow Controller. It was forked from the
Beacon controller, originally developed by David Erickson at Stanford.
Maestro:
(Java) Maestro is an OpenFlow "operating system" for orchestrating network
control applications.
NDDI - OESS:
OESS is an application to configure and control OpenFlow Enabled
switches through a very simple and user friendly User Interface.
Ryu:
(Python) Ryu is an open-sourced Network Operating System (NOS) that
supports OpenFlow.
NodeFlow (JavaScript) NodeFlow is an OpenFlow controller written in pure JavaScript for Node.JS.
ovs-controller
(C) Trivial reference controller packaged with Open vSwitch.
Special Purpose Controllers
RouteFlow
RouteFlow, is an open source project to provide virtualized IP routing
services over OpenFlow enabled hardware. RouteFlow is composed by an
OpenFlow Controller application, an independent RouteFlow Server, and a
virtual network environment that reproduces the connectivity of a
physical infrastructure and runs IP routing engines (e.g. Quagga).
Flowvisor
(Java) FlowVisor is a special purpose OpenFlow controller that acts as a
transparent proxy between OpenFlow switches and multiple OpenFlow
controllers.
SNAC
(C++) SNAC is an OpenFlow controller builton NOX, which uses a web-based policy
manager to manage the network.
Resonance
Resonance is a Network Access Control application built using NOX and OpenFlow.
Oflops
(C) OFlops (OpenFLow Operations Per Second) is a standalone controller
that benchmarks various aspects of an OpenFlow switch.
Misc
STS
SDN Troubleshooting Simulator
FlowScale
FlowScale is a project to divide and distribute traffic over multiple
physical switch ports. FlowScale replicates the functionality in load
balancing appliances but using a Top of Rack (ToR) switch to distribute
traffic.
NICE-OF
NICE is a tool to test OpenFlow controller application for the NOX
controller platform.
OFTest
OFTest is a Python based OpenFlow switch test framework and collection
of test cases. It is based on unittest which is included in the standard
Python distribution.
Mirage Mirage is an exokernel
for constructing secure, high-performance network applications across a
variety of cloud computing and mobile platforms. Apparently, it
supports OpenFlow.
Wakame VDC
(Ruby) IaaS platform that uses OpenFlow for the networking portion.
ENVI ENVI is a GUI
framework that was designed as an extensible platform which can provide
the foundation of many interesting OpenFlow-related networking
visualizations.
NS3 (C++/Python) NS3 is a network
simulator. It has openflow
support built in to emulate an openflow
environment and also it can be used for real-time simulations.
