OpenFlow

OpenFlow is a networking protocol that allows for advanced control of data traffic in computer networks. It separates the network's control layer, which manages traffic decisions, from the data layer, which handles the actual data flow. This enables network administrators to programmatically adjust how data moves through the network, improving efficiency, security, and flexibility. By using OpenFlow, networks can adapt more easily to changing demands and support new technologies, ultimately leading to smarter and more efficient communication systems.
