SDN 101: A Comprehensive Guide for IT Professionals

SDN brings many paradigm shifts to managing complex networks. 1. Moving to application APIs vs Command Line configuration of Layer 3 switches, routers, firewalls, and other network equipment. 2. SDN allows configurations of switches to be done at speeds needed to meet data center tenants' demands (example: updates/msec). 3. SDN moves networking from propriety hardware and operating systems to white box switches, routers, and other network equipment using open-source operating systems. 4. SDN provides a powerful platform for creating, managing, and terminating virtual networks. Data Centers are the major drivers of SDN but mobile carriers, broadband providers, optical transport networks and IoT environments are all doing their part to develop SDN for their needs

"Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." Martin Luther King Jr.
