Software-defined networking for the future

On the Edge

Conclusions

With the spread of 5G and IoT, SDN technologies will become even more established in the market. ONF's new projects provide a glimpse into the 5G network future, which will most likely be largely software based and independent of proprietary hardware. SDN technology is also spreading in the industry, although proprietary variants often have good chances because the providers are already familiar to their client bases.

GENEVE network tunneling protocol
LAN data transmission has evolved from the original IEEE 802.3 standard to virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) technology and finally to today's Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE) tunneling protocol, which offers improved flexibility and scalability, although it still faces some issues. We look at the three technologies and their areas of application.
