OpenFlow was mentioned in an article titled “Building a crash-proof internet” which recently appeared in NewScientist magazine (pp.38-41, no. 2714, June 2009). The article describes the motivations for building large-scale, programmable, realistic testbeds and the NSF’s GENI project. OpenFlow is introduced as a practical platform to accelerate this effort.

Tim Greene from Computerworld has a very nice article about OpenFlow, vendors that have implemented it and the demo at the GENI Engineering Conference. It is also up on Networkworld.
The GENI Demo just happened a few minutes ago, and it safe to say it was a huge success. We demostrated both virtual machine mobility as well as arbitrary flow routing. More exciting updates on OpenFlow coming soon.
Update: International coverage of OpenFlow in Japanese, Portuguese, Italias, Spanish, Polish and Swedish after the jump.
We are getting ready for the OpenFlow demo at the Geni Engineering Conference 3. We had a first dry run yesterday which by and large went fine. Stanford also today did a press release on OpenFlow and the GEC Demo. Full text after the jump.
