SDN Architecture

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an approach to network management that separates the control layer from the physical hardware. In traditional networks, each device is manually configured, which can be complex and slow. SDN centralizes network control in a software application, allowing administrators to easily program and automate network behaviors using a single interface. This flexibility enables better management of network resources, improves efficiency, and allows for quicker responses to network changes. Overall, SDN makes networks more adaptable and easier to manage, promoting innovation and improving performance.
