Simulation model of the OpenFlow system based on the OpenFlow switch specification 1.0.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm for communication networks which separates the control plane from the data plane of forwarding elements. This way, SDN constitutes a flexible architecture that allows quick and easy configuration of network devices. OpenFlow is a well-known implementation of the SDN concept and offers a high flexibility in the routing of network flows.
The model was originally presented at the 6th International Workshop on OMNeT++ by authors Dominik Klein and Michael Jarschel of University of Würzburg, for INET-2.0 and OMNeT++ 4.2. In later years, the code was ported to newer INET and OMNeT++ versions independently by multiple teams and individuals, and this repository builds on their work. A notable fork is maintained by the CoRE research group at the HAW-Hamburg (Hamburg University of Applied Sciences), extended to work together with the CoRE simulation models.
