Specification
This is the latest version of the OpenFlow Switch Specification, the standards document that describes the protocol that is used between an OpenFlow Switch and the OpenFlow Controller. It is targeted at a technical audience that wants to understand the details of the protocol or do OpenFlow related development.
Presentation
Draft experimental extension to OpenFlow
This document describes the requirements of an OpenFlow Circuit Switch. We recommend that you read the latest version of the OpenFlow Switch Specification for packet switches above. This specification should be viewed as an addendum to the packet switch spec, and it covers the components and basic functions of circuit switches based on switching time-slots, wavelengths or fibers.
