Abstract:
While both ForCES and OpenFlow follow the basic idea of separations
of forwarding plane and control plane in network elements, they have
some technical differences. This document analyzes the differences
between OpenFlow and ForCES technically from the aspects of goals,
architecture, forwarding model and protocol interface. The two
techniques can learn much from each other in their standardization
process.
