2 Software-Defined Network (SDN) Platform APIs Open protocols with enablement for proprietary extensions Networks are Evolving Physical Network Enterprise apps Security, load balancing, etc. services Applications and services that ride on, optimize, exploit, and manage the network Software Defined Networking is a software layer that makes the network more programmable, agile, and efficient A network that provides the physical connectivity Software Defined Networking (SDN) resets business opportunities Focus Area for OpenDaylight

Major Questions are Being Debated in our Industry VS. Centralize controlDistributed control

Slide 4

As a Result we Have Far Too Many Incompatible Technologies

Slide 5

The OpenDaylight Project is a collaborative open source project that aims to accelerate adoption of Software- Defined Networking (SDN) and create a solid foundation for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) for a more transparent approach that fosters new innovation and reduces risk. Founded by industry leaders and open to all, the OpenDaylight community is developing a common, open SDN framework consisting of code and blueprints. What is the OpenDaylight Project? 5

Slide 6

Code: To create a robust, extensible, open source code base that covers the major common components required to build an SDN solution and create a solid foundation for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Acceptance: To get broad industry acceptance amongst vendors and users Community: To have a thriving and growing technical community contributing to the code base, using the code in commercial products, and adding value above, below and around. OpenDaylight Project Goals 6
