In SDN, the con- trol plane is physically separate from the forwarding plane, and one control plane controls multiple forwarding devices. While forwarding devices could be programmed in many ways, having a common, open, vendor-agnostic interface (like OpenFlow) enables a control plane to control forward- ing devices from di↵erent hardware and software vendors.
