GAO Xiang-yu, WANG Lei, WNAG Zhen-fa, et al. Implementation of the Floodlight Controller with Protocol Oblivious Forwarding[J]. 2015, 32(11): 92-96.DOI:
Switch with Protocol-Oblivious Forwarding doesnt rely on the support of special protocol
which makes the controller more flexible and more programmable. Current SDN controller doesnt support Protocol-Oblivious Forwarding. In order to let the SDN controller support Protocol-Oblivious Forwarding
Modules are added to expand Floodlight controllers function. The modules are LinkDiscovery
TopologyManager
DeviceManager and Forwarding. Experiment shows that the controller can manage POF switch and can support the development and execution of custom-defined protocol with POF.
