Dear all,

We just had an interesting presentation at HotSDN regarding adding OpenFlow support to non-OpenFlow devices. As some of you may remember, we discussed last month at the SDNRG meeting in Toronto how the European FP7 ALIEN project addresses this problem.

AFAIK, we covered all previous related work in our ACM SIGCOMM DCC paper (http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2627566.2627577), but it seems that there is further work in this area. I'd be interested in having an open conversation so that research effort fragmentation is avoided and open source code reuse can be maximized :) If you are working on this topic I would highly recommend having a look at our DCC paper (which discusses and points to concrete implementation details).

More importantly, I would definitely appreciate pointers to other literature and open source code related to this topic.
 
Best regards,

Kostas
