The Extendible Linux-based

OpenFlow OpenFlow is a communications protocol that gives access to the forwarding plane of a network switch or router (computing), router over the network. Description OpenFlow enables network controllers to determine the path of network packets across ...

LN-2124OF switch based on Marvell 98DX4122 Packet-Processors and contains the implementation of hardware-based OpenFlow protocol 1.0 standard in ''OpenFlow-Only'' mode. The benefits of this product are: * An introduction of new and utilization of existent hardware capabilities of Marvell Packet-Processors * Acceleration of the development of new features per a customer’s demand * Easy-to-use SDK platform for Marvell’s Packet-Processors product line * Providing universities (professors and students) the powerful platform for study and academic researches. The underlying hardware is capable of many functions not supported by OpenFlow v1.0 including: * Multiple Lookup cycles * Extensible Matching * Tunneling QoS and Security * Full VLAN support * Bandwidth allocation and policing, etc. The user can modify and extend the software functionality to utilize additional Hardware functionality not yet in use, implement a substantial subset of OpenFlow v1.3, or add additional application level functionality. In addition, LN2124OF Switch provides unique DualBoot system, that allows coexistence of two different OS in one switch – Linux Based open-source Operation System, and fully managed stacking Ethernet Switch based on Marvell's Routing Operation System (ROS), that contains full features set of Layer2 and Layer3 protocols and is the manufacturing default.
