An industry-supported collaborative project of the Linux Foundation launched in April 2013 with a mission of developing an open source Software-Defined Networking (SDN) framework for creating robust, common SDN platforms. Industry support for the OpenDaylight Project comes from Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat, Brocade and VMware, among others.
The OpenDaylight Project has yet to provide an official release, but OpenDaylight code is expected to start shipping in late 2013.
