Preserve What’s Working Evolve for Emerging Requirements

Evolve the Network for the Next Wave of Application Requirements

And the Impact of BYOD, Cloud, Video & Data Deluge

• Resiliency

• Scale

• Rich feature-set

• Operational Simplicity

• Programmability

• Application aware+


What Is Software Defined Network (SDN)?

“…In the SDN architecture, the control and data

planes are decoupled, network intelligence and state

are logically centralized, and the underlying network

infrastructure is abstracted from the applications…”

Source: www.opennetworking.org

What is OpenStack?

Opensource software for building public

and private Clouds; includes Compute (Nova),

Networking (Quantum) and Storage (Swift)

services.

Source: www.openstack.org

What is Overlay Network?

Overlay network is created on existing network

infrastructure (physical and/or virtual) using a network

protocol. Examples of overlay network protocol are:

GRE, VPLS, OTV, LISP and VXLAN

What Is OpenFlow?

“…open standard that enables researchers

to run experimental protocols in campus networks.

Provides standard hook for researchers to run

experiments, without exposing internal working of

vendor devices…”
