Lopez Filename : draft-contreras-sdnrg-layered-sdn-01.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2014-08-11 Abstract: The Software Defined Networking paradigm proposes the separation of the control plane from the data plane in the network nodes and its logical centralization on a control entity. All the network intelligence is moved to this central entity. Typically, such central entity is seen as a compendium of interacting control functions in a vertical, tight integrated fashion. The relocation of the control functions from a number of distributed network nodes to a logical central entity conceptually places together a number of control capabilities with different purposes. As a consequence, the existing solutions do not provide a clear separation between services and transport control. This document describes a new proposal named Cooperating Layered Architecture for SDN. The idea behind that is to differentiate the control functions associated to transport from those related to services, in such a way that they can be provided and maintained independently, and can follow their own evolutionary way.
