This meansthat control is implemented via software, rather than hardware,allowing a network administrator to manage network traffic from acentral console. In cloud computing, this means a more flexible andefficient way to control traffic loads.From a technical standpoint, SDNs encourage a more efficient wayto operate a network environment. Networking, put simply, is thetransfer of data from one server to another through routers andswitches. There are faster ways to move across networks, andnetwork routers dictate which avenue is fastest for certain packetsof data. For instance, the fastest route for email is notnecessarily the fastest route for video.In a standard setup, a network administrator would need to setup and calibrate switches and routers manually. However, with anSDN, the administrator could adjust the switches' configurationfrom a management console running on an operating system, as wellas create more virtual switches and routers as required.
