OpenFlow Cookbook

At first, I was hoping that this book will act as a easier to read version of OpenFlow documentation. I hoped that it will present some examples by analogy to many of OF features. When I read first few chapters I had a moment of lack of faith. This book did not meet my expectations nor my needs at all. But (thankfully) since I have spent some money on it, I have decided to read on.After further reading I can say that if you want to have an overall knowledge on OpenFlow - read the official documentation ... but if you are planning on implementing some OpenFlow logic to a switch or a southbound plugin to a controller - grab this book. It may help.Each chapter of this book is written with use of the same template. This is extremely boring to read, but thanks to this, even if you will jump in into a chapter in the middle of the book, you will know where to look for information you need.In overall, this is not a book that I expected to be, but I can say that I am happy that I have read it.

Great recipies that helps one develop in OpenFlow switch and OpenFlow controller. Manage multiple switches from a single controller and a single switch from multiple controllers with different controller roles. Would recommend it to network protocol developers & SDN controller application developers.

This is a very useful reference to have to hand when working with Openflow on merchant silicon switches. It also very usefully complements the introductory book by Azodolmolky - Software Defined Networking with OpenFlow.

Wonderful recepies, easy to implement. Would highly recommend.
