* How to program a network. `NOX`:http://noxrepo.org/wp/. Simplified platform to write openflow controllers in C++ and python. Using an analogy between the OS of computers, it's like the OS of the network --you can program the network on top of that, in the same way you program a end-user application on top of a java-vm or with C++ and a compiler. There are different OS with different characteristics and different languages:

Interesting links:

* `OpenFlow Hub`:http://www.openflowhub.org/ Webpage about open source openflow projects. Currently, RouteFlow (virtualized IP routing services over OpenFlow-enabled devices), Beacon (java based openflow controller), and more.
19
* `OpenRoads`:http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_Wireless or OpenFlow Wireless. A complete platform. Very related. There is an image for PCEngine. Uses openflow userspace reference implementation.
20
* `Pantou`:http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_1.0_for_OpenWRT Openflow 1.0 for OpenWRT (userspace openflow, low performance)

`Paper`:http://openvswitch.org/papers/hotnets2009.pdf extracted from paper `...While it has been ported to other OSes, Linux-based virtualization platforms are its primary environments. To simplify integration with them, Open vSwitch emulates the interfaces of VDE [9] and the Linux bridging code, both of which are commonly used in virtual deployments. As a result, Open vSwitch can be used as a drop-in replacement for the virtual switches used by
36
Xen, XenServer, and KVM. In fact, most of the existing tools and utilities can be run unmodified against Open vSwitch due to its exporting of ioctl, sysfs, and proc filesystem interfaces identical to these legacy virtual switch implementations.`
