SDN, OpenFlow, and Open vSwitchPocket PrimerThomas F. HerbertThis book begins by discussing the theory behind SDN and how it is transformingtraditional networking implementation and management. Next the book exploresthe internals of an SDN switch and controller implementation. Finally the bookprovides practical examples of configuration an SDN switch utilizing detailedillustrations.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new way of controlling computer networks that isredefining the world of computer network management. The main idea behind SDN is toseparate the control plane from the data plane to allow more centralized and efficientmanagement of computer networks. By centralizing management and separatingmanagement from the device being managed, SDN enables the commoditization ofnetworking infrastructure equipment. It promotes scalability from small to large enterpriseand provider networks. The book comes with an accompanying DVD that has instructionalvideos and sample source code, configuration python, and shell scripts.

Features:

� Covers Open vSwitch (OVS), a popular open flow implementation showing internals

� Examines the sources in the Linux kernel showing the flow of the data packets andcontrol packets through a Linux based system

� Includes specific applications of SDN such as Provider Networks, and Data Security

� Includes accompanying DVD that has instructional videos and sample source code,configuration Python, and shell scripts


Chapter 1: Introduction: Why SDN? Why Change Things? Chapter 2: The Open FlowSpecification. Chapter 3: Open vSwitch, Internals. Chapter 4: Follow the Data ThroughOpen vSwitch. Chapter 5: Use of Open vSwitch—Examples in Action.

THOMAS F. HERBERT has over 30 years of experience with various nooks and crannies ofsoftware engineering. He holds 3 patents, 2 of which are on computer networkinginnovations, and he is the author of Linux TCP/IP, Networking for Embedded Engineers, 2ndedition.
