SANTA CLARA, Calf.—It's been five years since Marc Andreessen wrote an essay published in the Wall Street Journal that proclaimed "software is eating the world." By now, we can consider networking just about chewed and swallowed.
We are beginning to realize how much software-defined networking is changing everything. As ON.Lab Executive Director Guru Parulkar puts it, the "softwarization" of networking is not only changing how users manage networks, but everything the network touches.
More precisely, it is open-source software that is leading this movement. Open-source projects like the OpenDaylight and #ONOS (Open Network Operating System) controllers and #OPNFV (Open Platform for Platform for NFV) are driving new business, service and technology models, especially for telecommunications vendors.
