DESCRIPTION
From IoT to SDN, NFV, LTE, 5G, C-RAN, there’s a lot of acronyms to keep track of these days. Freescale's Joe Byrne breaks a few of these technologies down to the basic building blocks and shows how all the puzzle pieces fit together. Originally discussed at Multicore Developers Conference 2014. More information at http://oak.ctx.ly/r/1bl0x

SDN Defines a Platform for Network Applications
• How to improve configurability and feature velocity?− Make the network programmable− Centralize control− Developers need access to network
• Use Cases− Auto provisioning− Service creation/insertion− WAN virtualization− Network monitoring and analytics
