Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to provide a clear view of SDN, its origin, and its possible future. This chapter starts by taking a step backwards and looks at SDN in a historic perspective by visiting the history of network programmability and identifies how it helped pave the way and shape SDN. This historic journey will provide a general context of SDN and put SDN into perspective. Then the authors show the current view of SDN as defined by standard development organizations (SDOs), provide a sense of SDN's malleability, explore SDN interactions with different networking architectures, and finally, provide a vision of a possible SDN future.

Software-Defined Networking: An Architectural Enabler for the IoT
Part of the networking function that determines the treatment given to each traffic flow, and lastly to each packet, including switching, routing, quality of service, security, and fault tolerance aspects. It is placed in each network element in the traditional networking paradigm, whereas it is centralized in SDN, allowing for network programmability.
