Software Defined Networks: A Comprehensive Approach Paperback – Illustrated, 30 June 2014

Well-written. Good use of graphics and explanation of technologies.

Great analysis of the mechanics and the uses cases of SDN in its "open" version. Unfortunately many things changed since the book's last publication (no mention of SD-WAN). Nevertheless I would recommend this book for everyone who want to start his/her journey to SDN technology.

fast delivery. Item as described. Thanks

This book is OK but it's very OpenFlow heavy, there are many other types of SDN out there. Other types of SDN do get a mention but the majority of the detail concentrates on OpenFlow. What would have been nice is if this book contained less Openflow specific detail, and delved deeper into the other types of SDN to balance it out.Would also have been nice to add SD Access to the list and delved into the details of that SDN type too.

This book is a good introduction to Software Defined Networks. It provides a broad view of the emerging market trend and provides real world examples from vendors and how they are trying to meet the requirements. You will walk away with an understanding of how existing vendors are using their current interfaces to try to meet the SDN specification for switches and routers. There is a good section on the open software reference designs and how companies are trying to bring compliant version to market. Over all a very good introduction. What this book isn't is a text on configuring and using a SDN. Look elsewhere for that!
