It's a bit confusing to see "openflow" diagrams that include network components, that have nothing to do with OpenFlow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenFlow

It is unrelated, right? Just a name clash with an overlapping domain?

Hahahah yes so funnily enough my dad works with the IETF, and I showed him this project and he said "I was really confused why you called it that when that's a standard" Might be due a rebrand already!

I'm not one to pile onto the "you can't name it something that's already taken" comments, but given the name recognition within your target audience already, yeah. Plus, this will just be really hard to google.
