OpenFlow usage Topology discovery OpenFlow controller view is not always complete. For instance, what does the controller see here? What can you not do with OpenFlow ver1.1 Non-flow-based (per-packet) networking e.g., Handling pkt 1 differently from pkt 2 of same flow yes, this is a fundamental limitation BUT OpenFlow provides the plumbing to connect devices New forwarding primitives BUT provides a nice way to integrate them through extensions New packet formats/field definitions BUT a generalized OpenFlow (2.0) is on the horizon Optical Circuits BUT efforts underway to apply OpenFlow mode
