Implementing Open Flow Agent - Cisco ASR 9000 Series User Configuration Manual

Implementing Open Flow Agent

OpenFlow is a specification from the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) that defines a flowbased forwarding
infrastructure (L2-L4 Ethernet switch model) and a standardized application programmatic interface (protocol
definition) to learn capabilities, add and remove flow control entries and request statistics. OpenFlow allows
a controller to direct the forwarding functions of a switch through a secure channel.
This module has details about the Open Flow Agent, relevant concepts and configurations.
