OpenFlow, I believe, provides an easy way to use actual switching/routing devices in an academic setting. There seem to be a few universities that are teaching OpenFlow in a lecture or are using OpenFlow for their course projects. Following is a quick list that I generated to appease my curiosity. If I missed your university, please send us a mail.
