Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an approach that separates the network's control logic from the underlying hardware, making networks programmable and centrally managed.
It brings flexibility and automation to traditionally rigid networks.
In SDN, the control plane (which decides how traffic is routed) is separated from the data plane (which forwards packets). A centralized SDN controller programs the network devices, often using the OpenFlow protocol.
This centralization enables dynamic configuration, easier management, better resource use and rapid deployment of network services.
