southbound APIs are used to communicate between the SDN controller and the switches and routers within the infrastructure.
OpenFlow and Cisco OpFlex provide southbound API capabilities.

With OpenFlow, entries can be added and removed to the internal flow-table of switches and routers to make the network more responsive to real-time traffic demands.

OpenFlow is the standard southbound protocol used between the SDN controller and the switch. The SDN controller takes the information from the applications and converts them into flow entries, which are fed to the switch via OF. It can also be used for monitoring switch and port statistics in network management.
