Abstract:
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new approach for network
programmability. Network programmability refers to the ability to
control, change, and manage network behavior dynamically through
software via open interfaces as opposed to relying on closed boxes
and propietary defined interfaces. SDN introduces an abstraction for
the data forwarding plane and, by doing so, separates it from the
control plane. This separation allows faster innovation cycles at
both planes as experience has already shown. However, there is
increasing confusion as to what exactly SDN is, what is the layer
structure in an SDN architecture and how do layers interface with
each other. This document does not aim to standardize any layers or
interfaces but rather aims to answer these questions and provide a
concise reference document for SDNRG in particular, and the SDN
community in general.
