Software-Defined Networking
SDN lets you design, build, and manage networks, separating the control and forwarding planes. As a result, the control plane is directly programmable, and it abstracts the underlying infrastructure for applications and network services.
Network intelligence is logically centralized through programmable SDN controllers. Implemented in software, these controllers maintain a coherent view of the network domain. To applications and policy engines, SDN looks like a single logical switch.
At the moment SDN can be studied in CCNA R&S but Cisco is introducing a new certification that is Devnet in which there will be a lot on the SDN, Data plane, Management plane, APIC controllers
There are no formal prerequisites for DevNet Associate certification, but you should have a good understanding of the exam topics before taking the exam.
