What is OpenFlow?
OpenFlow is a communications protocol that enables a software-defined networking (SDN) controller to directly manage the forwarding plane of network devices (switches, routers). It allows for the remote configuration of the forwarding plane via the OpenFlow protocol. It decouples the control plane (decision-making) from the data plane (forwarding) allowing the network to be programmed.
What other technologies are related to OpenFlow?
OpenFlow Competitor Technologies
NETCONF
NETCONF is an alternative protocol for network configuration management. While it can coexist with OpenFlow, it represents a different approach to controlling network devices.
gNMI
gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) is a network management protocol. It provides an alternative method for configuring and monitoring network devices, thus being a competitor to OpenFlow-based management.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for network management and monitoring. While it can coexist, it represents a traditional approach to network management that is different from OpenFlow's approach.
