Personally, the way I look to SDN today, as a use case. Saying just "SDN" is an unfair word. While it simply started as someone did not want to buy an expensive router while he can write a script on a server (controller) to program a switch to do what he wants, it drafted alot from this view.
Although the hardware got smarter and with some vendors even cheaper, still it will not replace the flexibility of software, quick integration of smart AI controller feedback, flow granularity decisions and in some cases replacement of conventional protocols....etc Not as easy as it seems and comes with compromises Brgds, LG ________________________________ From: NANOG <[email protected]> on behalf of Töma Gavrichenkov <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 6, 2019 4:12:49 AM To: Nick Morrison <[email protected]> Cc: NANOG <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Software Defined Networks Peace, On Fri, Dec 6, 2019 at 2:54 PM Nick Morrison <[email protected]> wrote: > > Please do not <edited> > > So does anyone still wonder why we have so few women in our field? > > Real nice, Töma. Thank you for highlighting! I totally admit that the language used would be deemed unacceptable for many community members. My sincere apologies for that. I will learn from this mistake. -- Töma
