"Network owners/operators face challenges in scaling and managing capex and opex. Networking is evolving to empower operators, drive innovation, and enable customization through SDN solutions. Vendors are advancing products to meet the demand. The future lies in OpenFlow protocol and SDN software stack's maturity and community participation. This revolution, championed by experts like Jonathon Heiliger, will redefine networking as we know it. Key players include IBM, TCP/IP, IETF, IEEE, and more to shape the future of network technology."

My Takeaways • Network owners/operators face real challenges • scale and management => capex and opex • Networking has to and will change • Give more control to network owners/operators • Enable and accelerate innovation and customization • SDN is the solution of choice • Owners/operators want to deploy it • Vendors stepping up to provide products/solutions • SDN has to mature to deliver on the promise • OpenFlow protocol, switches, and SDN software stack And it will with all this community interest & participation
