Everything about Open Networking Foundation
Operator led networking technology consortium
The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) was a non-profit operator-led consortium. It used an open source business model aimed at promoting networking through software-defined networking (SDN) and standardizing the OpenFlow protocol and related technologies. The standards-setting and SDN-promotion group was formed out of recognition that cloud computing will blur the distinctions between computers and networks. The initiative was meant to speed innovation through simple software changes in telecommunications networks, wireless networks, data centers and other networking areas. Wikipedia →
