OpenFlow is an open standard that allows you to run experimental protocols in production networks. More information about OpenFlow in general is available in a couple of places:

• ​The main OpenFlow home page
• ​The Open Networking Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose first priority is to develop and use the OpenFlow protocol

The following pages have more information about OpenFlow in GENI:

• Information about the GENI network core, a set of OpenFlow-capable switches in NLR and Internet2.
• An example topology of a campus OpenFlow network, designed to allow experimenters to access the GENI nework core in a variety of ways depending on their needs.
• Information about various OpenFlow controller software options.

This is just a start; stay tuned for more.
