All of the above
What is a limitation of traditional network architecture?
It is not designed for fine-grained traffic engineering
What is a consequence of the compact integration of control and data planes in traditional networks?
Less QoS-aware flow control
What is a recommended solution for traditional networks, according to the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)?
To automate manual processes of network management
What is a major challenge faced by network management operators as data centers grow in scale?
Too many manual and reconfiguration processes
What is a limitation of traditional network architectures?
They lack programmability and cannot meet application layer needs in real-time
What is a key benefit of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture?
Simplified network management and improved network resource utilization
How does SDN architecture enable simpler network management and configuration?
By separating the control plane from the data plane to an external entity (controller)
What is an advantage of SDN's centralized management?
Dynamic on-the-fly reconfiguration and adaptation to time-variant fault and load changes
What is a benefit of SDN's network abstraction and programmability?
True network visualization and efficient utilization of network resources
This quiz covers the complexities of network traffic control and orchestration in modern networks, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and multi-tenant data centers. It explores the challenges of adapting to changing link utilization, bandwidth allocation, latency, energy consumption, and jitter in heterogeneous networks. Test your knowledge of network traffic management and IoT applications.
