Software-Defined Networks

Posted July 9, 2015 | Technology |

Traditional computer networks are complex and very hard to manage (see "Unraveling the Complexity of Network Management"). To express the desired policies, network operators need to configure each individual network device, one by one, either manually or with the use of low-level scripts. In addition to configuration complexity, network environments have to endure the dynamics of faults and adapt to load changes. Enforcing the required policies in such a dynamic environment is highly challenging.
