'''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. Hence Frenetic is a [[functional reactive programming]] language operating at a packet level of abstraction.<ref name=voellmy>{{cite journal|last=Voellmy|first=Andreas|coauthors=Hudak, Paul|title=Nettle: Taking the Sting Out of Programming Network Routers|journal=Practical Aspects of Declarative languages|year=2011|volume=6359/2011|pages=235-249|doi=10.1007/978-3-642-18378-2_19|url=http://www.springerlink.com/content/t487m08h1p60837v/fulltext.pdf|date=2011|accessdate=14 February 2011}}</ref>
