Description:

OpenFlow networking allows for the management and trafficking of packets using switches. Using the capabilities of different packet types, OpenFlow allows for masking and the matching of these different packet types. IPv6 is one of the packet types, which allows for faster sending and receiving on the networking side; however, IPv6 packets tend to be larger than IPv4 packets.
