Software Defined Networking (SDN)
IT Infrastructure and Networking
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a networking architecture that separates the control plane (which decides how traffic is routed) from the data plane (which forwards traffic), enabling centralized, programmable management of network behavior via software controllers. Network engineers use SDN, often with protocols like OpenFlow, to dynamically configure large-scale networks in data centers and cloud environments. It's widely used by cloud providers and telecom companies to improve network flexibility and automation.
