Descripción
Sumario:	The article discusses a networking architecture, called software-defined networking (SDN), which uses standardized application programming interfaces (API) to enable network programmers to reconfigure the handling of data or resources within a network. Topics covered include the use of API in network applications, the attention received by SDN from players in the virtualization and cloud computing sector, and the use of northbound API interface in SDN. It also provides a chart illustrating the architecture of SDN.
