      Preface

      If you are trying to understand Software Defined Networking (SDN), this book is for you. If you are grappling with what it means to your business or organization so that you can make informed decisions, this book is for you. This book give you a comprehensive summary of SDN technology, the solutions being proposed, the practical reasons for the solutions and the meaning of different technological terms. There is much hype about SDN and its many variants, OpenFlow, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) etc. This book tries to keep the marketing out and to focus solely on capability and value. This is born out of market need. Decision makers struggle to understand their position on various issues surrounding SDN. This book is a valuable tool for those decision makers. The information is kept crisp without burdening you with unnecessary buzz. This is written from the position of a knowledgeable insider who has been in it and has been part of the networking and telecommunications revolution for the past 20+ years.

      About the author

      Chapter 1: Introduction - Why SDN?

      Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging technology trend which is driven by the need to abstract and redefine network constructs. Its goal is to manage better, networks of greater scale and complexity. Data and Telecom Networking has grown over the past few decades. Standards have been evolving to fit and add functions to the network - Evolution has been the name of the game. While this has been happening, there was not enough attention paid to the overall architecture of data/telecom networks that evolved. The resultant networks are a mix of control and data plane constructs with no clear delineation in functionality between them. Network elements like switches have evolved to support a variety of protocols, making their cost of development, deployment very high. During this evolution, lack of computing resources also led to the creation of distributed protocols which
