Cisco Perspective on Network Programmability• Cisco continues to pursue a broader strategy (Cisco ONE)

-Programmatic device APIs-Network Overlay Virtualization-Network functional abstractions (controller and OpenFlow for SDN)-Cisco’s portfolio already includes several key components of the SDN solution

- Programmability will be derived from multiple technologies and protocols-No über-technology – multiple standards efforts to address specific needs-Preserves long-term flexibility

- Migration will be evolutionary-Cisco will adopt a use-case led approach that draws on several key elements of the Cisco product and technology portfolio
