HP VAN SDN Controller and Applications Support Matrix

Table 6 HP VAN SDN Controller support for switches in an OpenFlow-hybrid network, other switch
software versions
Supports OpenFlow version...With controller version...Switch model or type...

OpenFlow 1.02.2Open Virtual Switch (OVS)
OpenFlow 1.32.3
1.7 Configuration maximums
For measuring flows-per-second, the controller was configured to use command-line execution with
the learn.IP and hybrid.mode options set to false. Setting hybrid.mode to false causes
all new flows to be sent to the controller. When hybrid.mode is set to true, the switch determines
the forwarding behavior, resulting in a minimal number of flows being sent to the controller.
Maximums vary based on the type and configuration of server used for the controller.
Maximums listed in this table are based on controllers running on an HP DL560 Gen8 server with
16 cores at 2693 MHz and 64 GB RAM.
