The OpenFlow standards are proposed to solve these problems. Since OpenFlow plays an important role in the next-generation network technology, many research units and vendors start studying OpenFlow and put in much investment. The implementation of OpenFlow 1.0 switches over the EstiNet network simulator, which communicates with the real NOX OpenFlow controller application, and the real external NOX OpenFlow controller is presented in this paper. Many Linux kernel hackings are also added based on the needs of the OpenFlow switch module. These hackings resolve the problems found in writing the OpenFlow switch module and keep the consistency of simulation result and improve simulation speed.
