DESCRIPTION
Introduction What we clearly need is an operating system for networks, one that would provide a uniform and centralized programmatic interface to the entire network. A network operating system would not manage the network itself; it would merely provide a programmatic interface. Applications implemented on top of the network operating system would perform the actual management tasks.

Introduction• What we clearly need is an operating system for networks, one
that would provide a uniform and centralized programmatic interface to the entire network.
• A network operating system would not manage the network itself; it would merely provide a programmatic interface. Applications implemented on top of the network operating system would perform the actual management tasks.
NOX Overview
Programmatic Interface• NOX’s programmatic interface is conceptually quite simple,
revolving around :• Events
Programmatic Interface (Cont.)• NOX’s programmatic interface is conceptually quite simple,
revolving around :• Network View and Namespace
Programmatic Interface (Cont.)• NOX’s programmatic interface is conceptually quite simple,
