OpenFlow

This is the page you're already on — the Human View toggle above shows it in full.

A green key on the record, left, is one Decision Insights added. It doesn't exist on the company's site or in a wire feed. The same key labels its row on the right, so you can match them directly. More on how DI enriches a record.

The record

This is what the machine sees: the exact JSON-LD an agent receives for this listing.

What we add

Graph

A protocol or open source project has no press office, and often no site of its own to publish from at all. Nothing shows the coverage written about it elsewhere. We track and link every article that does.

BlogPosting ONUG Triple-T session outlines evaluating AI for enterprise networks BlogPosting Cisco Live Melbourne 2024 outlines AI-focused networking agenda

Topic graph

A wire service tags a release with a category, once. It doesn't maintain a durable graph over time. We connect them to a topic graph an agent can query.

Data Center https://decisioninsights.ai/term/data-center/ Network Operator https://decisioninsights.ai/term/network-operator/ Control Logic https://decisioninsights.ai/term/control-logic/ and 9 more

Counted facts

A protocol or open source project keeps no vendor list and publishes no figures of its own to check this against. This counts how it actually shows up across the graph -- articles that name it, the organizations named alongside it in those articles, similar projects, and organizations whose topic tags overlap with its own -- computed, not curated.

Articles mentioning this entity 2 Organizations named alongside this entity 3 Related projects OpenDaylight, OpenDaylight (ODL), Ryu OpenFlow Controller, Floodlight, Open vSwitch, OpenSwitch, OFLOPS, OFTest Related organizations NOX Repo, Loopbacks and PtP links Ireland, NetFlow Logic, InMon, NoviFlow, RunSDN, ECI-duplicate, ADARA Networks

The person who sent this agent gets an answer they can act on

Somebody dispatched this agent to evaluate OpenFlow for a real decision: a shortlist, a vendor comparison, a purchase. "OpenFlow makes X" isn't something they can act on; they need to know the claim is real and where it came from. Follow one enriched link from Act 2 and see what the agent can actually hand back to them:
