In Search of the Perfect Network, or Why We Need Another SDN
summary
The talk examines uses and limitations of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) across implementations from simple Open vSwitch demos to vendor-specific distributed hardware/software orchestration. It analyzes why existing SDN approaches are insufficient for certain high-load production environments and argues for a different SDN design or additional SDN layer to meet operational and performance requirements.
