Software Defined Networking is transforming the computer networking and telecommunications industries, offering unprecedented agility, flexibility, and cost reduction. Leading the charge towards SDN is the Open Networking Foundation (ONF), which in only 2-1/2 years is taking the lead in standardizing SDN, and promoting open networking.
This webinar will examine the key trends driving the need for a new architecture, and a concise overview of the ONF SDN Architecture (including the first SDN standard - OpenFlow). Next we will examine how SDN/OpenFlow may be extended to support optical transport networks, followed by a brief introduction to the ONF charter, organization, and rapidly growing membership. Finally, we will address related standardization activities affecting the carriers, including comparisons to SDN.
Agenda:
- Why a new architecture is needed?
- Introduction to SDN and OpenFlow
- How SDN will support the Carriers
- Why the ONF is important?
- Related Open Networking initiatives
