ONF (Open Networking Foundation)

The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) is an organization that promotes the development and adoption of open networking technologies. It aims to make networks more flexible and efficient by encouraging the use of software-based control of network devices, a concept known as Software-Defined Networking (SDN). This approach separates the network's control and data functions, allowing for easier management and innovation. By creating open standards, ONF helps companies and service providers implement modern networking solutions, making it easier to adapt to changing technology and business needs.
