'''Frenetic''' is a ___domain-specific language for programming [[Openflow Switching Protocol|OpenFlow]] networks, embedded in [[Python (programming language)|Python]]. The language is designed to solve major OpenFlow/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.

'''Frenetic''' is a [[___domain-specific language]] for programming [[software-defined networking]] (SDN). This ___domain-specific programming language allows network operators, rather than manually configuring each connected network device, to program the network as a whole.<ref>
