Although OpenFlow was initially only used in the research domain, the concept is now finding its way into data centers due to the relatively cheap hardware and high flexibility. In this paper, we take a look at the scalability and usability of OpenFlow in data centers. Based on data center traffic models and OpenFlow measurements, we evaluate whether OpenFlow is able to cope with the short flow inter-arrival times in data centers by means of simulation.
