Subject and abstract:
The first part of this talk, about the past and continuing work of SDN, will explain how the design of OVS allows SDN developers to focus on application goals instead of performance. The second part of the talk describes my vision of the future. The theme behind this vision is to empower users and operators to greater flexibility and control over their networks, with increased ease of use, without sacrificing performance. Three key components of this vision, which are eBPF, P4 and OVN respectively, will be elaborated in detail.
