[fancy_header3 variation=”orange”]OpenFlow: Coarse vs. Fine Flows[/fancy_header3] OpenFlow: Coarse vs. Fine Flows – This series of posts, is to shed light on some illogicalities surrounding the SDN discussion. I will highlight what I propose, will achieve performance and scale when implementing flow based forwarding designs. Soon these debates, will no longer be conceptual or limited deployments in… Continue reading OpenFlow: Coarse vs. Fine Flows
OpenFlow: Proactive vs Reactive Flows
[fancy_header3 variation=”orange”]OpenFlow: Proactive vs Reactive[/fancy_header3] As more people begin entering the Software Defined Networking conversation, there is still only one wire protocol that has a reasonably good chance at becoming the de-facto open SDN southbound messaging standard, OpenFlow. There is quite a bit of debate around whether or not OpenFlow can scale. Most claims that… Continue reading OpenFlow: Proactive vs Reactive Flows
SDN OpenFlow Policy Abstractions
[fancy_header3 variation=”orange”]SDN OpenFlow Policy Abstractions : Frenetic Netcore Procera[/fancy_header3] SDN OpenFlow Policy Abstractions : Abstraction layers are a fundamental principle in computer science. It is a core pillar in creating efficiencies through layered, modular scale. Proper abstraction layers are also where the networking train came off the tracks. Network operators program network devices using proprietary… Continue reading SDN OpenFlow Policy Abstractions
