Question

Have you heard about Software Defined Networking (SDN)? If not, please do some research and find out about SDN and discuss briefly at least two advantages of using SDN.

Answer 1

The Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a modern network management system that improves the performance of network through the efficient network configuration.It has a software defined network different from traditional network system.That is in an SDN, monitoring is done like almost same as in cloud computing.

Key features of SDN:

1.Programmability in networks

2.Openness

3.Centralized global view

4.Maintainability

The main components of the SDN are control plane,North bound application protocols,East west protocols,Data plane and south bound protocols and open flow.

Some of the Advantages of SDN:

1.Reducing Operation Cost

SDN gives oppurtunity to multitasking in network operations and it minimize the requirement of more hardware components, there by we can reduce the expenses.

2.Centralized Operational Control

This is the another advantage of SDN which gives better control over the network traffic.
