Deploying software-defined networking (SDN)

“

Imagine a world where networks aren't locked into rigid proprietary hardware, but instead run like flexible software-driven powerhouses. That's exactly what software-defined networking brings to the table. It is a game changer for virtualization and cloud platforms. If If we look at the traditional networks, here everything is bundled together. Control plane which is the brain and the data plane which is the muscle are tightly coupled inside the proprietary hardware. This makes networks inflexible, expensive and slow to adapt. If we look at the revolution bring by SGN, it flips the script by decoupling control and data planes. Think of it like separating the driver which is the control plane from the car which is the data plane. Now you can change routes, speed and rules on the fly without swapping the engine. Now how sgen actually works? There are different components that plays a vital role in software defined networking starting with virtual machines and hypervisor. The underlying…
