OpenDaylight is meant to define a common industry-supported framework for SDN. The group appears to be well on its way. When OpenDaylight was first proposed, Inder Gopal, IBM’s Vice President for Networking Development, said that the project should be judged by its actions not its words in two years. And that, “We will not be driven by large vendors agendas and that we will be transparent and open.” It’s not even been a year yet, but so far, so good.
