可模擬 OpenFlow 交換器的軟體定義網路 (SDN) 模擬器
概觀
OpenFlow 模組是思銳網路模擬器的選擇性附加模組。在軟體定義網路中，OpenFlow 通訊協定規範了控制器與交換器之間的通訊方式。使用了此附加模組，一個 OpenFlow 交換器可以接受來自單一控制器或是多個控制器的控制，且支援控制平面與資料平面交疊 (In-band Control Plane) 的架構或是兩者分離 (Out-of-band Control Plane) 的架構。商業版本的或開放源碼的控制器軟體可以在模擬的軟體定義網路中被執行起來，然後去控制虛擬的 OpenFlow 交換器。為了遵循 OpenFlow 通訊協定，模擬的 OpenFlow 交換器也支援 Flow Table(s)、Group Table 與 Meter Table的操作。
主要特色與好處
支援 OpenFlow 通訊協定的虛擬交換器
將多個模擬的OpenFlow交換器連結在一起，便可形成一個軟體定義網路的模擬環境。在此模擬環境中，開發者可以透過讓控制器應用程式操作這些虛擬交換器的資源來測試與驗證應用程式的功能性與網路規模擴展的支援能力。
可與真實世界的控制器軟體相容
可在 Linux環境中執行的軟體定義網路控制器軟體也能夠直接在思銳網路模擬器的軟體定義網路中執行起來，並控制所有模擬的 OpenFlow 交換器。若控制器軟體無法在 Linux 環境中執行，則思銳網路模擬器的實時模擬模式可讓執行在 Linux 環境的虛擬軟體定義網路與執行在其他作業系統環境的控制器軟體互通。透過思銳網路模擬器所虛擬出來的軟體定義網路環境，可以用來測試控制器應用程式的功能並可檢測設計上的缺陷與運行上的錯誤。
