This document provides an overview and updates on SDN technologies including OpenFlow and ONF. The key points discussed include:
1) A survey that found the leading SDN deployments use OpenFlow controller-based approaches, with overlay-based SDN and multiple protocol controllers also common.
2) Updates on ONF activities including comments on OpFlex, collaboration with ETSI on NFV support, and upcoming OpenFlow specifications and extensions.
3) Use cases for SDN/NFV including service chaining, load balancing, and enhancing disaster response for a telecom network. Areas of focus for evolving OpenFlow standards are also outlined.
