OpenDaylight

Formed in 2013, OpenDaylight is a collaborative open source project hosted by the Linux foundation. The goal of OpenDaylight is not necessarily to create a standard but produce a working code. This working code can be used to create a working SDN and NFV environment.

The following picture shows the framework of OpenDaylight projects. At its core the goal is to have an SDN controller at its core that can be run on any piece of hardware or software that supports Java. The controller will contain multiple software packets that perform various functions as well as northbound and southbound APIs. The southbound is dynamically linked to the Service Abstraction Layer (SAL).


Project will continue to form at Open Daylight and the project is ever-evolving:

To understand the general architecture, you could vise the OpenDaylight Platform Overview, and find OpenDaylight Features list below.

OpenDaylight represented OpenDaylight's first official working SDN controller, Hydrogen. OpenDaylight releases follows the atomic number of elements in the periodic table.
