A Linux distribution for "bare metal" switches, that is, network forwarding devices built from commodity components.
OpenWrt is an operating system (in particular, an embedded operating system) based on the Linux kernel, primarily used on embedded devices to route network traffic. The main components are the Linux kernel, util-linux, uClibc or musl, and BusyBox. All components have been optimized for size, to be small enough for fitting into the limited storage and memory available in home routers.
A SDN OS for white box switches Layer-2/3 feature set with support for OpenFlow, OVSDB, and other protocols.

Mininet fork adding support for container-based (e.g. Docker) emulated hosts.
A lightweight instant virtual network for rapid prototyping SDN
A world-renowned software tool for network planning
MaxiNet extends the famous Mininet emulation environment to span the emulation across several physical machines. This allows to emulate very large software-defined networks.
Language
The Frenetic Programming Language and Runtime System
A domain specific language (DSL) based on abstraction of network models and conclusion of operation patterns.
A declarative language for expressing how packets are processed by the pipeline of a network forwarding element such as a switch, NIC, router or network function appliance.
