SDN is to networking as SANs were to Data Storage, and Virtualization has been to Computers. SDN separates Networking into 4 "Planes": Control Plane, Data Plane,Services Plane,Management Plane Data Plane -- Forwards the actual Data Packets and includes what you think of as standard networking equipment Services Plane -- deals with Services such as Firewall Services and pulls them off of the "standard" networking equipment and handles them on "servers". Control Plane -- Controls all of the networking devices on the Data Plane and manages Services that are supported on the Services Plane. Management Plane -- Manages the setup Control Protocol's are used to communicate between the Control Plane and the Data Plane. OpenFlow is a popular Open Source Control Protocol SDN allows for easy Network Traffic Shaping based on current needs.
