Benefits

  • Future-Ready – Supports the latest OVS/OpenFlow protocol upgrades.
  • Faster Design Cycles – Evaluate new switch configurations before deployment.
  • Scalable Testing – From single switches to multi-node SDN fabrics.
  • Security Validation – Ensure encryption, firewall, and DPI work at line rate.
  • Reduced Risk – Identify bottlenecks and failures before rollout.

The OpenFlow Switch (OVS) block in VisualSim models a software-defined networking (SDN) switch designed for packet parsing, forwarding, and security enforcement.

OVS is widely used in cloud data centers, HPC clusters, and enterprise networks where scalability and flexibility in traffic management are critical. VisualSim extends this by allowing engineers to simulate switch performance, traffic flows, queue management, and protocol integration, ensuring that designs meet throughput, latency, and security requirements.

VisualSim supports the latest OpenFlow/OVS protocol upgrades, ensuring alignment with industry adoption in multi-tenant cloud, SDN/NFV, and edge networking deployments.
