Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

Flow processing is the ability for a communications application to keep active state on every individual network “conversation” traversing the device for the entire duration.

The controller could set up paths through the network optimized for specific characteristics, such as speed, fewest number of hops or reduced latency. . Why is OpenFlow needed?

What Elephant Flows Do To Networks. Network operators use network performance as a veritable battle line, claiming their speeds and quality are better than the next, yet little is being done about ...
