OpenFlow application work where network management tools fail

Dec. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- I've heard some say that software-defined networking (SDN) and OpenFlow applications are "just another" network management solution, and I understand their doubts. After all, most network monitoring and management technologies have fallen flat.

But OpenFlow applications go well beyond the abilities of network monitoring or management tools by enabling a centralized view of the entire network configuration along with control even in a dynamic virtual environment. (Read an explanation of OpenFlow applications and controllers.)

OpenFlow provides protocols and a platform for monitoring the network, but it also provides a powerful toolset for configuring the network in a positively controlled system with multiple feedback loops for accuracy and confirmation. Not a single traditional network monitoring and management tool offers this capability.
