Abstract
The software-defined networking (SDN) paradigm has revolutionized the way we think about network management and control. The SDN application plane is a critical component of this paradigm, where intelligent applications are leveraged to drive network behavior and optimize network performance. In this abstract, we explore the role of the SDN application plane in bridging the gap between traditional network management and the intelligent, dynamic network of the future. We discuss the challenges and opportunities of deploying SDN applications, including the need for standardized APIs and the importance of intelligent analytics and machine learning techniques. Finally, we highlight the transformative potential of the SDN application plane, from enabling new applications and services to improving network security and resilience. By bringing intelligence and networking together in new and innovative ways, the SDN application plane promises to revolutionize the way we design, manage, and secure our networks.
