Software Defined Networks
Beschreibung:
and development labs for Hewlett-Packard for most of that time before becoming co-founder of Tallac
Networks, a Software Defined Networking startup. Most recently he has been training engineering
staff and customers of major networking vendors in the areas of developing SDN applications. He has
been the innovator and creator of multiple networking products for HP in the area of Network Access
Control and Security, and holds eleven patents in these areas. Prior to this work, he developed products
in the field of Network Management for HP's software organization. In the early days of local area
networking, he was author of some of the first network topology discovery applications in the industry.
Black holds a BS and MS in Computer Science from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis
Obispo.

Tim has won the U.S. Presidential Volunteer Service Award from 2011 through 2014 for his volunteer activities in the community. This includes a passion for STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) education efforts in middle and high schools. He is passionate about promoting these careers to students and serves on the Mentor Advisory Commitee for WeTeachScience.org.Software Defined Networks: A Comprehensive Approach, Second Edition provides in-depth coverage of the technologies collectively known as Software Defined Networking (SDN). The book shows how to explain to business decision-makers the benefits and risks in shifting parts of a network to the SDN model, when to integrate SDN technologies in a network, and how to develop or acquire SDN applications.
In addition, the book emphasizes the parts of the technology that encourage opening up the network, providing treatment for alternative approaches to SDN that expand the definition of SDN as networking vendors adopt traits of SDN to their existing solutions.
Since the first edition was published, the SDN market has matured, and is being gradually integrated and morphed into something more compatible with mainstream networking vendors. This book reflects these changes, with coverage of the OpenDaylight controller and its support for multiple southbound protocols, the Inclusion of NETCONF in discussions on controllers and devices, expanded coverage of NFV, and updated coverage of the latest approved version (1.5.1) of the OpenFlow specification.
