A step-by-step, example-based guide which will help you gain hands-on experience with the platforms and debugging tools on OpenFlow. If you are a network engineer, architect, junior researcher or an application developer, this book is ideal for you. You will need to have some level of network experience, knowledge of broad networking concepts, and some familiarity with day- to- day operation of computer networks. Ideally, you should also be familiar with programing scripting/languages (especially Python and Java), and system virtualization. Preface -- Chapter 1. Introducing OpenFlow.
