Open Network Foundation

The Open Network Foundation (ONF) is a nonprofit organization that develops and promotes open, standardized technologies for software-defined networking (SDN). SDN is a way to make networks more flexible and easier to manage by separating the control of data flow from the hardware devices. ONF creates open protocols and frameworks to enable different network equipment and software to work together seamlessly, fostering innovation and reducing costs. Its goal is to promote open, programmable networks that can adapt quickly to changing needs, supporting next-generation internet infrastructure and cloud services.
