A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Application Enabled SDN (A-SDN) Author(s) : Reinaldo Penno Tirumaleswar Reddy Mohamed Boucadair Dan Wing Suresh Vinapamula Filename : draft-penno-pcp-asdn-00.txt Pages : 12 Date : 2013-09-29 Abstract: To allow traversal of firewalls or provide additional network services such as QoS or supplemental bandwidth, it is necessary to deploy application-aware network elements. Such network elements are costly to create, deploy, and are unable to adequately cope with changes to the application itself, stifling innovation. This document describes a different approach, where the application explicitly signals its needs to the network.
