报告内容：In this talk, which is based on joint with work Martin Casado, Teemu Koponen, and Nick McKeown, I first discuss why networking's fundamental intellectual framework so weak. I then argue that it can be strengthened through the definition of several abstractions.  My main focus is on the network control plane, and the abstractions I present motivate the adoption of Software-Defined Networking. However, I will also mention how new networking abstractions can create a far more evolvable Internet architecture.
