According to Martin, the term SDN originally referred to a change in the network architecture to include a) decoupling the distribution model of the control plane from the data plane; and b) generalized rather than fixed function forwarding hardware. Instead, SDN is a tool that can be leveraged in order to create network virtualization.

This low level software allowed multiple applications to run on the same physical hardware but believe that they had the box all to themselves. The problem is that often the VM management tools aren’t able to scale up to the size of enterprise operations. The arrival of virtualization software changed everything. Problem: Silos.
