EMPOWERING SDN

SOFTWARE-BASED NETWORKING & SECURITY FROM VYATTA

What is SDN?

“…programmable networks (or more precisely, network elements that can be configured through a reasonable and documented API)…”

– Ivan Pepelnjak, ipSpace.net “Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging network architecture where network control is decoupled from forwarding and is directly programmable…”

– Open Networking Foundation

Why are SDNs important?

•  “It’s about the apps, stupid” –  Development velocity –  Growth of test/dev environments

•  Datacenter growth is placing pressure on networks –  Density of servers is changing network

topology, but not removing need for segmentation & security

–  Operational simplicity –  Capital cost of infrastructure needs to decrease

How is SDN used today?

•  Datacenter Network Virtualization –  Overlay networks

•  Tunnels – VXLAN, STT, GRE •  Solves VLAN exhaustion & L2 extensibility

–  Programmability of L2 segments – OpenFlow –  Cloud infrastructure

•  Per-tenant network segments & security •  Carrier-grade OpenFlow

– WAN Programmability
