No, SDN really isn't about this at all - its about segregation of the control and data planes, and in some respects about bringing a new level of programmability to the network layer. The scenarios you describe are easily achieved without SDN.
- raheemm 14y agoI think the keywords are that SDN makes these things easier, cheaper and more manageable by abstracting it out of the network hardware and into the software, specifically virtualized software. That is why VMWare sees a good fit in Nicira.
