What is SDN (Software Defined Networking)?• According to Open Networking Foundation [ Purist definition ]
SDN is a new approach to networking in which network control is decoupled from the data forwarding function and is directly programmable.
The result is an extremely dynamic, manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable architecture that gives administrators unprecedented programmability, automation, and control.
