There is a lot more to network virtualization and software-defined networking or SDN beyond OpenFlow. SDNCentral has compiled and maintains a comprehensive list of Open Source SDN Projects.
Network virtualization has a robust Open Source community given its roots within academia, with Stanford’s Clean Slate project (and now the ON.Lab) seeding numerous initial SDN projects. With the burgeoning development community around OpenFlow and SDN, the number of open-source projects are rapidly growing. At SDNCentral, we aim to capture the large number of interesting open-source projects focused on SDNs and present it in one place for the SDN community.
If you have questions about the Open Source SDN Projects – please contact us and we’ll connect you with an SDN expert who can answer your questions.
We are always looking for more Open Source SDN Projects, please contact us to add them to our directory.

Pica8/XORPlusPica8 provides XORPlus under a restricted source license (derivative rights allowed, object-form allowed, but no exposure of Pica8’s code to anyone without prior approval). XORPlus is a L2/L3 stack that powers Pica8’s Pronto line of switches today.
Ryu Network Operating SystemRyu is a network OS that integrates with OpenStack and supports OpenFlow. It provides a logically centralized controller and well-defined API that make it easy for operators to create new network management and control applications.
Controllers

Project Description
BeaconBeacon is a fast, cross-platform, modular, Java-based controller that supports both event-based and threaded operation.
FlowERFlowER is an open-source Erlang based OpenFlow controller. Its purpose is to provide a simplified platform for writing network control software in Erlang. Its still under development but Travelping, FlowER’s creator, is already using it in its products.
FloodlightThe Floodlight controller is an enterprise-class, Apache-licensed, Java-based OpenFlow Controller. It was forked from the Beacon controller, originally developed by David Erickson, and now is supported by a community of developers including a number of engineers from Big Switch Networks
JaxonJaxon is a Java-based OpenFlow Controller that provides a thin interface to NOX to bridge Java applications and the NOX controller.
NodeFlowNode.js-based OpenFlow controller. Node is a fast, lightweight, and efficient server-side javascript platform based on Google’s V8 runtime
NOXNOX was the first OpenFlow controller. It has been the basis for many and various research projects in the early exploration of the SDN space.
POXPOX is a Python-only version of NOX that provides controller functionality within a rapid prototyping environment.
TremaAn Open Source modular framework for developing OpenFlow controllers in Ruby/C.
Orchestration/Slicing
Project Name
Project Description
FlowVisorFlowVisor is a special purpose OpenFlow controller that acts as a transparent proxy between OpenFlow switches and multiple OpenFlow controllers.
FlowVisor creates rich ”slices” of network resources and delegates control of each slice to a different controller
OpenStack QuantumQuantum is an incubated OpenStack project to provide “network connectivity as a service” between interface devices (e.g., vNICs) managed by other Openstack services (e.g., nova)
MaestroMaestro is a network operating system for orchestrating network control applications. Maestro provides interfaces for implementing modular network control applications to access and modify state of the network, and coordinate their interactions via multiple protocols including OpenFlow.
NDDI OESSOESS is an application to configure and control OpenFlow Enabled switches through a very simple and user friendly User Interface. OESS provides sub-second circuit provisioning, automatic failover, per-interface permissions, and automatic per-Vlan statistics.
Routing
Project Name
Project Description
RouteFlowRouteFlow is an open source project to provide virtualized IP routing services in OpenFlow networks. RouteFlow combines the flexibility of open-source Linux-based routing stacks (e.g., Quagga, XORP) with the line-rate performance of OpenFlow devices. RouteFlow allows for a migration path to SDN via controller-centric hybrid IP networking in addition to deployable innovation around IP routing and the different flavors of network virtualization.
QuaggaQuagga is a routing software suite, providing implementations of OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP v1 and v2, RIPng and BGP-4 for Unix platforms, particularly FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris and NetBSD. Quagga is a fork of GNU Zebra which was developed by Kunihiro Ishiguro.
Applications
Project Name
Project Description
FlowScaleFlowScale is a project to divide and distribute traffic over multiple physical switch ports. FlowScale replicates the functionality in load balancing appliances but using a Top of Rack (ToR) switch to distribute traffic.
ResonanceResonance is a Network Access Control application built using NOX and OpenFlow.
FreneticFrenetic is a domain-specific language for programming OpenFlow networks, embedded in Python.
Security
Project Name
Project Description
FortNOXFortNOX is an extension to the open-source NOX OpenFlow controller. FortNOX automatically checks whether the new flow rules violate security policies. FortNOX can detect rule contradictions, even in the presence of dynamic flow tunneling using set action rules.
FRESCOFRESCO is an initiative to develop an OpenFlow application framework for rapidly prototyping security detection and mitigation modules, and composing these modules into efficiently deployable security services. Situated between the OpenFlow controller and the OpenFlow application layer, FRESCO exports a scripting API that enables script developers to access network flow and switch-wide statistics, and to mitigate detected threats by pushing new flow constraint rules to the controller.
Simulation, Testing and Tools
Project Name
Project Description
MiniNetMininet provides a simple and inexpensive network testbed for developing OpenFlow applications. Mininet creates scalable (up to hundreds of nodes, depending on your configuration) software-defined networks on a single PC by using Linux processes in network namespaces.
OFDissectorWireshark dissectors for OpenFlow 1.1 and 1.2
OFTestOFTest is a Python based OpenFlow switch test framework and collection of test cases. It is based on unittest which is included in the standard Python distribution.
OFLOPS/ CBenchOFlops is a standalone controller that benchmarks various aspects of an OpenFlow switch. Oflops implements a modular framework for adding and running implementation-agnostic tests to quantify an switch’s performance.
Cbench is a program for testing OpenFlow controllers by generating packet-in events for new flows. Cbench emulates a bunch of switches which connect to a controller, send packet-in messages, and watch for flow-mods to get pushed down.
Software Libraries

Project Name
Project Description
NettleNettle allows networks of OpenFlow switches to be controlled using a high-level, declarative and expressive language. It is implemented on a Haskell library that supports the OpenFlow protocol and provides an OpenFlow server.
