Abstract
In this paper we present a programmable networking model that provides a common framework for understanding the state-of-the-art in programmable networks. A number of projects are reviewed and discussed against a set of programmable network characteristics. We believe that a number of important innovations are creating a paradigm shift in networking leading to higher levels of network programmability. These innovations include the separation between transmission hardware and control software, availability of open programmable network interfaces, accelerated virtualization of networking infrastructure, rapid creation and deployment of new network services and environments for resource partitioning and coexistence of multiple distinct network architectures. We present a simple qualitative comparison of the surveyed work and make a number of observations about the direction of the field.
