I can BGP peer with SDN !

Nice. Internet scale ?nope

IPv6, ACLs, OSPF, ISIS ?

nopetrace route

sort of..ICM

P, Ping, QoS

So… Are we ready to

deploy SDN then ?Do or Do Not. There is no try.

USAND TERABITS !

Distributed Routers only make sense

when there is no other solution. Too often SDN encourages us to be like a

“data centre” for non-datacenter problem

.

Make your hardware vendor

accountable for the whole solution. No M

Switch. Have a nice day.” Operators

are not Developers. 4.
