'''Frenetic''' is a [[___domain-specific language]] for programming [[Openflowsoftware-defined Switching Protocol|OpenFlownetworking]] networks, embedded in [[Python (programming languageSDN)|Python]]. AThis ___domain-specific programming language allows network operators, rather than manually configuring each connected network device, to program the network as a whole.<ref>

</ref> Frenetic is designed to solve major [[OpenFlow]]/[[Nox (platform)|NOX]] programming problems. In particular, Frenetic introduces a set of purely [[Principle of abstraction|functional abstractions]] that enable [[Modular programming|modular program development]], defines [[high-level]], programmer-centric packet-processing operators, and eliminates many of the difficulties of the two-tier programming model by introducing a see-every-[[Network packet|packet]] programming paradigm. Hence Frenetic is a [[functional reactive programming]] language operating at a packet level of abstraction.<ref name=voellmy>{{cite journalbook|last=Voellmy|first=Andreas|coauthorsauthor2=Hudak, Paul|titlechapter=Nettle: Taking the Sting Out of Programming Network Routers|journaltitle=Practical Aspects of Declarative languages|year=2011Languages|volume=6359/2011|pages=235-249235–249|doi=10.1007/978-3-642-18378-2_19|url=http://www.springerlink.com/content/t487m08h1p60837v/fulltext.pdf|dateyear=2011|accessdateseries=14Lecture FebruaryNotes 2011in Computer Science|isbn=978-3-642-18377-5}}</ref>
