Abstract

The OpenFlow protocol is an example of a Software Defined Networking protocol proposed as a software mechanism for controlling the network equipments. Nevertheless, the management of OpenFlow experiments can be a difficult task considering the programming languages and the configuration required for the resources involved. Nevertheless, this task would be straightforward with the use of a graphical tool. This paper presents the utilization of a graphical user interface called Visual Network Description (SDN version) for the authoring of OpenFlow scenarios. In order to demonstrate the potential of this tool a case study is presented illustrating the authoring and execution of an Openflow scenario.
