A curated list of software, libraries, tools, and resources for Software-Defined Networking (SDN).
Awesome SDN is a curated GitHub repository that compiles software, tools, libraries, and resources related to Software-Defined Networking. It serves as a directory for developers and network engineers to discover SDN technologies, from controllers and simulators to protocols and learning materials. The list is organized into categories like Network Operating Systems, Controllers, and Simulators to facilitate exploration.
Network engineers, SDN researchers, developers building network automation tools, and students learning about software-defined networking who need a centralized reference for tools and resources.
It saves time by aggregating and categorizing the fragmented SDN ecosystem into a single, community-maintained list, ensuring users can quickly find relevant projects and avoid missing key technologies.
A awesome list about Software Defined Network (SDN)
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Lists over 50 projects across 20+ categories from Network Operating Systems to Analytics, including both foundational tools like OpenFlow and emerging ones like P4, as shown in the detailed README sections.
Organizes resources into logical groups such as Controller, Simulator, and Language, making it easy to navigate specific SDN domains without sifting through unstructured data.
Built as an open-source awesome list with a Travis CI build status badge, encouraging contributions and updates to keep the list relevant, as noted in the philosophy section.
Provides a Resources section with books, papers, and articles, aiding deeper study beyond tool discovery, such as SDN books and research papers linked in the README.
Merely lists projects with brief descriptions but lacks ratings, comparisons, or recommendations, leaving users to independently research which tools fit their use cases.
As a static list, some entries may become outdated over time despite community updates, and the README doesn't include versioning or deprecation notices for older projects.
Focuses on resource aggregation without offering installation guides, troubleshooting tips, or integration examples, which can hinder beginners from applying the tools effectively.
