Software Defined Networks is an emerging concept. The OpenFlow protocol did the necessary work to decouple Control Plane from Data Plane.

Globo Network API takes advantage of these concepts to enable SDN based solutions. The following features are enabled through SDN:

• Access Control Lists (ACLs)
  • GET
  • POST
  • PUT
  • DELETE

Architecture

The SDN architecture used by Network API depends on OpenDaylight controller and OpenFlow protocol.
