## What it is
A curated awesome list of Software Defined Networking (SDN) resources, covering network operating systems, OpenFlow controllers, virtualization, simulators, and NFV tools. It serves as a reference index linking to open-source projects, books, and papers in the SDN ecosystem.

## Use cases
- find open-source SDN controllers
- learn software defined networking basics
- compare OpenFlow protocol implementations
- discover network virtualization and overlay tools
- find SDN network simulators and emulators
- research NFV and whitebox switch operating systems

## When to choose
- you need a starting point to explore the SDN ecosystem
- you are researching OpenFlow controllers or network OS options
- you want curated links to SDN books, papers, and tools

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable SDN tool rather than a link list
- you need up-to-date production guidance rather than curated references

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: networking, developer-tools
- domain: networking, awesome-lists, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: sdn, openflow, network-virtualization, curated-list, nfv, whitebox-switches, linux
