Not sure how Openvswitch implementation relates to Openflow specification.
The short answer is that Open vSwitch serves as one of the standard
reference implementations for OpenFlow (in fact, the primary developers
of Open vSwitch were some of the original designers of OpenFlow).
Multiple hardware switches on the market use Open vSwitch as the basis
for their OpenFlow support.
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
There are many other ports announced or available from vendors such as
HP, Brocade, Pica8, Extreme, Juniper, and NetGear. Cisco has even
announced support support for OpenFlow on the Nexus 3k
(http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=213545).
