• From “The Big Switch Rewiring the World, From Edison to Google”
by Nicholas Carr
– In 1850s innovative industrialists (e.g. Henry Burden) had their own
private power generators
– By early 1900s, electricity became a utility service provided by a few
companies to major companies and then the masses
– We are at this same juncture in early 2000s

Is The Industry Moving Towards A Broadband Utility Model?
87% of respondents agreed that the industry is moving towards a broadband utility model, and
only 2% disagreed.
Question: Do you agree with the following statement? At a macro level, carrier Ethernet standards and
technologies are moving in the direction of enabling a broadband utility model in which (a) Ethernet serves as
the unifying layer to virtualize access to the network, (b) high-capacity Ethernet and wavelength services
function as transmission lines, and (c) large data centers play the role of power generation plants in the
network. In this model, utility computing and storage capability are connected by low-latency Ethernet and
wavelength services and are delivered to a customer – with an on-demand option – through a single Ethernet
user network interface that can handle many applications with SLA guarantees.
87% agree

What is SDN?
• Software-defined networking (SDN)
– Enables network applications to request and manipulate services
provided by the network and allow the network to expose network state
back to the applications
• e.g.
