Why  we  need  SDN?  

Networks are...

The  truth  about  SDN…  

§  It  is:            §  A  way  for  applicaTons  to  consume  network  services  

very  quickly,    using  a  fundamentally  new  operaTonal  model  

 §  It  is  not:        

§  The  answer  for  every  networking  problem  known  to  mankind  

                         

 

IT’S TIME TO LIFT THE CLOUD OVER

SDN…

SDN  OBJECTIVES  

Does  SDN      =  =      Openflow?  

First  Step  (circa  2011)  §  SeparaTon  of  control  &  

data  planes  (ONF,  OF)  §  Logical  centralizaTon  of  

control  plane  

A GOOD FIRST STEP... But.. Does focus on OF as network level API deliver on the promise of SDN?

§  Replace  CLI  &  script  driven  EMS  w/  centralized  cloud  based  management  pla^orm  

§  Centralized  NMS  allows  for    §  End-­‐2-­‐end  service  configuraTon  §  Network  APIs  can  be  OF,  SNMP,  XML,  Scripts  

Does  SDN        =  =      Next-­‐Gen  EMS?  

Does Next-gen EMS go far enough to deliver on the promise of SDN?

Does  SDN        =  =          TE  (Traffic  Engineering)?  

§  ObjecTve:  Run  the  Network  hober  §  Enhance  path  computaTon  with:  

§  End-­‐2-­‐end  Topology  &  Path  costs  §  ApplicaTon  requirements  §  Time-­‐of-­‐day  requirements  

§  Use  OF/PCEP  to  map  flows  to  opTmal  paths  

Does an off-line TE fully deliver on the promise of SDN?

SDN  =  =  A  new  approach  to  networking    

§  For  the  past    decades:                                              The  NETWORK  has  been  the  “product”  

§  Now  &  looking  ahead:  APPLICATION  DELIVERY  is  the  “product”  

As application & user needs change, so should our approach to networks…
