Abstract :
This paper describes how Software Defined Networking is evolving from its current application in packet networks to the domain of transport networks. It discusses architectural options, implementation approaches and related standardisation activities. Finally typical applications and their business cases underpin the relevance for practical deployments. In the paper the concepts of SDN are only described on a very high level. The conference presentation will extend this with schematics and explanations.
