OpenFlow Implementation on NetMagic Platform

Abstract:

Stanford University proposed a new network switch model named OpenFlow for the research of network innovation. OpenFlow enables researchers to control the behavior of the network by managing flow table. NetMagic is an open network switching platform for the innovative research of next generation Internet architecture. This paper introduces OpenFlow and NetMagic briefly, and implements a customized and scalable OpenFlow model system on the NetMagic platform. Finally, this paper shows the features and advantages of OpenFlow with an experiment.
