Abstract:
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can be defined as a new approach
for network programmability. Network programmability in this context
refers to the capacity to initialize, control, change, and manage
network behavior dynamically via open interfaces as opposed to
relying on closed-box solutions and their associated proprietary
interfaces. SDN emphasizes the role of software in running networks
through the introduction of 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 addresses these questions and provides a concise reference
for SDNRG and the wider SDN community based on relevant peer-reviewed
literature, the RFC series, and relevant documents by other standards
organizations.
This document is a product of the IRTF Software-Defined Networking
Research Group (SDNRG)
