Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Definition

Note: SDN uses imperative control, as found in OpenFlow software-defined networks, where the centralized controller has all the intelligence and network devices are dumb, while Cisco believes declarative control is superior to imperative control, which has a single point of failure in the centralized controller. What Cohen didn't say is that the strict OpenFlow model threatens Cisco in that it enables the potential use of so-called "white box" switches, rather than the expensive, specialized hardware that is Cisco's bread and butter. So the more Cisco can do to promote declarative networks, the better off Cisco will likely be. (Source: Cisco Counters OpenFlow SDN With OpFlex, Updates Nexus Switches)

Google's Cloud (Andromeda) is based on SDN - OpenFlow

An excerpt from the above link: " 'What we have seen is that a logically centralized, hierarchical control plane with a peer-to-peer data plane beats full decentralization,' ... No matter what, Google has shown very clearly what the practical benefits of SDN are and now large enterprises will be more comfortable wading in "
