Abstract :
Software-defined networking opens up new possibilities for architectures based on open source components, promising improved orchestration and agility, lower operational costs, and--most important--a wave of innovation. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/pdG2btcyyK8 is a video in which authors Christian Esteve Rothenberg, Roy Chua, and Thomas Nadeau present a slideshow and discuss how software-defined networking opens up new possibilities for architectures based on open-source components, promising improved orchestration and agility, lower operational costs, and a new wave of innovation.
