Programmable networks or Software Defined Networking (SDN) offers new opportunities to manage computer networks: make networks smart, introduce new service faster. However, in real world, the development of SDN applications has come with great complexity: heterogeneous switching devices, control intersections between different applications, simultaneously managing of large number of networks devices. The talk presents approaches on how to make SDN programming easier and hide low level details from the programmer.
