will it speak openflow 1.3 to a third party controller? regards jamie On 10 June 2014 17:05, Joel Wirāmu Pauling wrote:

Hi all,

I will be up at NetHui and have my hands on a somewhat desirable piece of SDN kit. Namely the ALU 7850.

In a nutshell it's an SDN targeted switch 96Ports of 10G+/40G QSFP in a 1U rack, talks openflow, and also has a bunch of Controller stuff courtesy of Nuage.It is designed to act as the Datacentre to Carrier gateway, but it's just a fairly neat piece of hardware.

I've had it on my desk for a while and would quite like some SDN boffins who have some use cases to have a poke around with it. Would be very interested in seeing some inter-op with some existing OpenFlow kit.

Anyone interested in having a play at Nethui/Intac please let me know in advance. If I get no takers then I probably will avoid lugging it up to Auckland.

Kind regards

Sounds like exactly what you're asking for is happening later this year in Wellington... http://www.sdncon.net/ A bake off between vendors over SDN functionality. Be sure to sign Alcatel-Lucent up there Joel! Dean On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 5:05 PM, Joel Wirāmu Pauling wrote:
