This document discusses networking requirements for a customer and compares traditional and software defined network options. It proposes a software defined application delivery network using virtualized firewalling, load balancing and routing. This is estimated to provide 50-70% lower capital expenses and 60-80% lower operating expenses compared to the traditional network option. Major players in software defined networking are also listed.
