Software Defined Networking 3 Strategic Layers

Orchestration Automated provisioning, coordination,

management of defined services within the DC

or Telecom Network (e.g. Virtualization)

Node In a network, a node is either a Connection

Point (e.g. media gateway), a distribution point

(Top of Rack Switch) or an end point (Cloud Server)

for data transmissions.

Controller Manages network control plane to configure

network devices, choose the optimal network

path for application traffic flows.
