Abstract
This paper presents a complete guideline for developing OpenFlow infrastructure. OpenFlow is standard network protocol to manage traffic between routers and Ethernet Switches. This approach will help to create the next generation virtual network, which provides the solution for network management, flow control of packets, delay optimization etc without interfering the backbone network. Here a brief idea about all the supporting tools involved in the journey of OpenFlow has been introduced. This paper provides a solution with top to bottom approach to install OpenFlow network tools. On the basis of one by one approach user is able to solve the problem appeared during the installation with proper justifications.
