Which two options are open-source SDN controllers? (Choose two)

  1. OpenContrail

  2. OpenDaylight

  3. Big Cloud Fabric

  4. Virtual Application Networks SDN Controller

The correct answer is: OpenContrail

OpenContrail and OpenDaylight are recognized as open-source Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controllers, which is essential in orchestrating network functions through programmable interfaces. OpenContrail, developed by Juniper Networks, allows for network virtualization and provides tools for developers to manage cloud networks effectively. It supports various networking protocols and offers flexibility to those implementing SDN solutions. OpenDaylight, on the other hand, is a widely adopted open-source project under the Linux Foundation. It aims to provide a comprehensive platform for SDN and network functions virtualization (NFV). OpenDaylight offers an ecosystem that enables rapid innovation through collaborative development, facilitating interoperability among different network devices and services. While Big Cloud Fabric and Virtual Application Networks SDN Controller are notable solutions in the SDN landscape, they do not share the open-source characteristic as they are products that originated from specific vendors, implying proprietary frameworks and specific licensing restrictions.
