Not sure how Openvswitch implementation relates to Openflow specification.

There are a few switches supporting Openflow already:
  http://www.openflow.org/wp/switch-nec/
  http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/options/networking/bnt8264/index.html

The standard(s) are here:

Good info from recent symposium:
