The languages used to program networks today lack modern features. Programming them is a complicated and error-prone task, and outages and infiltrations are frequent. Frenetic is an open-source Software Defined Network (SDN) controller platform designed to make SDN programming easy, modular, and semantically correct, based on programming languages with the following essential features:
- High-level abstractions that give programmers direct control over the network, allowing them to specify what they want the network to do without worrying about how to implement it.
- Modular constructs that facilitate compositional reasoning about programs.
- Portability, allowing programs written for one platform to be reused with different devices.
- Rigorous semantic foundations that precisely document the meaning of the language and provide a solid platform for mechanical program analysis tools.
You can build Frenetic-based network applications with:
- OCaml
- Python
- REST and JSON (i.e., any programming language!)
