What is SDN-ready QuantaMesh Ethernet Switch? |
A
|
The QuantaMesh Ethernet Switch with QuantaMesh Network OS (QNOS) offers various SDN scenarios. It can support an OpenFlow-only mode where the SDN controller makes decision for every packet in the network. It can also be in OpenFlow-hybrid mode where the controller only makes decisions for certain packet flows. The forwarding decision for the remaining packets on the network will be made by the traditional switch's forwarding engine. This flexibility brings the SDN experience piece-by-piece rather than completely moving away from the traditional forwarding. |
