Pre-installed Open-source SDN/Openflow controller VMs available in VMware, Virtualbox, and Qemu formats. The available controllers are OpenDayLight, ONOS, Ryu, and Mininet. Mininet is essential, since it creates the openflow switch topologies, but it is possible to run its MiniEdit GUI, to use as a standalone VM.

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a modern approach to networking that eliminates the complex and static nature of legacy distributed network architectures through the use of a standards-based software abstraction between the network control plane and underlying data forwarding plane, including both physical and virtual devices. This standards-based data plane abstraction, called OpenFlow?, provides a novel approach to dynamically provision the network fabric from a centralized softwarebased controller. An open SDN platform with centralized software provisioning delivers dramatic improvements in your network agility via programmability and automation, while substantially reducing the cost of your network operations. ...

The Floodlight Open SDN Controller is an enterprise-class, Apache-licensed, Java-based OpenFlow Controller. It is supported by a community of developers including a number of engineers from Big Switch Networks. Why Use Floodlight? -- OpenFlow. Works with physical- and virtual- switches that speak the OpenFlow protocol Apache-licensed – lets you use Floodlight for almost any purpose -- Open community.

SDN is one of the most innovative concepts in contemporary computer networking. SDN allows logical separation between forwarding and control planes, thereby providing built-in flexibility in developing and evolving network applications. Openflow is an instantiation of Software Defined Networking. It is a programmable network protocol that allows a controller to access and configure the forwarding plane of a switch or router. OpenFlow is now being used in commercial SDN deployments. JAM is a multi-threaded, scalable, performance focused, embedded OpenFlow v 1.0 complaint controller developed in system independent C language. ...

HermesNet is a Network Management platform to OpenFlow architecture. It provides features to configure (acting as a OF controller) and monitoring the network.
