Software-Defined Network for Media Workflows
Software-defined networking (SDN) is receiving considerable attention in the Broadcast and Media industry due to its potential to bring innovation to Internet Protocol (IP) and Networking approaches. This is especially relevant and timely due to the pervasiveness of IP and Ethernet as the converged medium for carrying multiple services (video, audio, data, etc.) — This paper will outline the SDN concept as it relates to Media IP workflows and broadband delivery of content. The paper will define network programmability and network application programming interfaces (APIs) and their role in achieving more granular control of network services, network analytics, and security. Finally, SDN use cases for Media IP workflows and the business benefits will be highlighted.
